Long-term performance of oxidized zirconium on conventional and highly cross-linked polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty
Introduction: Polyethylene wear and subsequent osteolysis remain obstacles to the long-term survivorship of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) with radical quenching represents a massive leap forward with dramatically improved wear rates compared to ultra-high mole...
