Simulated Normal Gait Wear Testing of a Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene Tibial Insert

Abstract Polyethylene wear can compromise long-term performance of total knees. We investigated articular and backside wear rate of tibial inserts made from conventional vs highly cross-linked polyethylenes. The inserts were tested on a knee simulator at a frequency of 1.1 Hz using normal gait kinem...
