A new mechanism of oxidation in ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene caused by squalene absorption

Although synovial fluid lipids were found to absorb in ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) total joint implants in vivo, their effect on the oxidation of the polymer was not known. Current understanding of the oxidation and oxidative stability of UHMWPE joint implants is focused on the...
