Albumin Protein Cleavage Affects the Wear and Friction of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

It is well established that the total protein concentration and albumin-to-globulin ratio influence the wear of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE, “polyethylene”) in joint prostheses. A factor on wear not yet studied, but of possible clinical relevance, is protein cleavage. Such cleavage is...
