Vitamin E-stabilized highly crosslinked polyethylenes: The role and effectiveness in total hip arthroplasty
TLDR
Structural evolution and characteristic features of first-generation HXLPEs are summarized, and a detailed description of second-generation antioxidant HXL PEs in regard to the role of vitamin E incorporation on their chemical and mechanical performances in THA are provided.About:

Update on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: Current indications and failure modes.
TL;DR: The correct clinical and radiological indications for UKA have been analysed and correlated as far as possible with the principal mechanisms and timing of failures of UKA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal trends and survivorship of total hip arthroplasty in very young patients: a study using the National Joint Registry data set.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe temporal trends and survivorship of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients, aged ≤ 20 years, and present a descriptive observational study.

TL;DR: At five years, there was less polyethylene wear in the VEPE group than in the ModXLPE group, and component stability was similar in the two groups and remained constant up to five years.

Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of femoral head size on wear of the polyethylene acetabular component.
TL;DR: The amounts of resorption of the proximal part of the femoral neck and of lysis of the distal part ofthe femur both correlated positively with the extent of linear and volumetric wear; this suggests an association between the amount of debris from wear and these changes in the Femoral Neck and proximal parts of the Femur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of an extremely wear-resistant ultra high molecular weight polyethylene for total hip replacements.
TL;DR: The optimal crosslinking dose provides a balance between these physical properties and the wear resistance of the implant and might substantially reduce the incidence of wear‐induced osteolysis with total hip replacements.

TL;DR: In the financial year ending June 2002, 26 689 hip replacements and 26089 knee replacements (total, 52778) were performed in Australia as mentioned in this paper, with a combined increase in hip and knee replacement of 13.4% in the past year.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of fixation method on revision rate and mortality was examined for 25,000 hemiarthroplasty cases from the AOA National Joint Replacement Registry.

In vivo wear of polyethylene acetabular components
TL;DR: Polyethylene acetabular cups retrieved at revision surgery were measured by a shadowgraph technique to determine linear wear, and the values were compared with those obtained from radiographs, finding volumetric wear to be less than previously reported in vivo and similar in magnitude to the results of experimental wear tests in vitro.
