Abstract
Highly cross-linked and thermally stabilized polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced to improve wear in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with manufacturers implementing different thermal treatments to reduce oxidation. It is important to understand how long-term time in vivo affects the wear of these materials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the wear and oxidative performance of first-generation HXLPE hip inserts implanted for greater than 10 years and compare annealed and remelted HXLPE formulations.
