Abstract

Metal on Polyethylene bearings have been widely used in total hip replacements for over 40 years. However there are still concerns about implant failures due to aseptic loosening and osteolysis, which occurs as a result of immune system responses triggered by the microscopic debris generated by normal wear and tear of the prosthetic joint.
