Technique for high-sensitivity “in vitro” wear measurement of UHMWPE hip joint liners using radioactive tracer technology

Hip joint replacement in humans is now done at younger ages and the associated wear issues are more problematic due to increased activity and longer residence times. The medical complications of wear debris generated by such mechanical joint implants are often severe and can cause protracted disabil...
