Crosslinked polyethylene in knee arthroplasty: a simulator study evaluating the positive influence on the tribocontact area in the fixed-bearing knee

Background Crosslinked polyethylene (XPE) was developed to reduce the wear rate in hip as well as knee arthroplasty. The crosslinking process reduces the mechanical properties of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), particularly its fatigue strength. UHMWPE fatigue occurs more frequent...
