Influence of Accelerated Aging on the Wear Behavior of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Liners—A Hip Simulator Study

Sequential cross-linked and annealed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (SX-PE) is known as a low-wear articulating partner, especially for total hip endoprostheses. Aging of polymeric materials, irrespective of if induced by shelf or in vivo life, can degrade their tribological and mechanical...
