Rim cracking of the cross-linked longevity polyethylene acetabular liner after total hip arthroplasty.
Stephen S. Tower,John H. Currier,Barbara H. Currier,Kimberly A. Lyford,Douglas W. Van Citters,Michael B. Mayor +5 more
TL;DR: There was no notable in vivo degradation of the retrieved acetabular liners, and important factors related to failure appear to be thin polyethylene at the cup rim, relatively vertical cup alignment, and the material properties of the highly cross-linkedpolyethylene that are decreased relative to conventional poly methylene.

Tradeoffs amongst fatigue, wear, and oxidation resistance of cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
Sara A. Atwood,Douglas W. Van Citters,Eli Patten,Jevan Furmanski,Michael D. Ries,Lisa A. Pruitt +5 more
TL;DR: The tradeoff in fatigue, wear, oxidation, and oxidation performance is critical to the material's long-term success in total joint replacements and is the first study to simultaneously evaluate fatigue crack propagation, wear.

Evaluation of oxidation and fatigue damage of retrieved crossfire polyethylene acetabular cups.
Barbara H. Currier,John H. Currier,Michael B. Mayor,Kimberly A. Lyford,John P. Collier,Douglas W. Van Citters +5 more
TL;DR: The oxidation-related reduction of polyethylene mechanical properties was sufficient to allow the fatigue damage seen in these retrieved acetabular cups to be seen.
