Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene: Influence of the Chemical, Physical and Mechanical Properties on the Wear Behavior. A Review
TL;DR: This paper reviews the structure–properties relationship of UHMWPE materials, with a particular emphasis on the in vitro and in vivo wear performances, through an analysis of the existing literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
UHMWPE for arthroplasty: past or future?
TL;DR: This review discusses “historical” issues associated with UHMWPE, such as oxidation, sterilization method and storage, as well as “new” topics,such as crosslinking and stabilization, to aid orthopaedic surgeons in their selection of polyethylene inserts and in the information given to the patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic-loaded cement in orthopedic surgery: a review.
Alessandro Bistolfi,Giuseppe Massazza,Enrica Verne,Alessandro Massè,Davide Deledda,Sara Ferraris,Marta Miola,Fabrizio Galetto,Maurizio Crova +8 more
TL;DR: The objective is to provide the orthopaedic surgeons clear and concise information for the correct choice of cement in their clinical practice, focusing on properties, merits, and defects of the antibiotic loaded cement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arthroscopic treatment of hip chondral defects: autologous chondrocyte transplantation versus simple debridement--a pilot study.
TL;DR: This study indicates that an ACT procedure can be used in the hip for acetabular chondral defects, and improves after the procedure compared with the group that underwent debridement alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The combined effects of crosslinking and high crystallinity on the microstructural and mechanical properties of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.
TL;DR: Crystallinity was beneficial to fatigue crack propagation resistance and when coupled with crosslinking a polymer with both wear and fatigue resistance was obtained, which may have serious implications for devices with high stress concentrations or large cyclic contact stresses.
