Harmful immunological consequences from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear debris in knee prostheses can lead to osteolysis, aseptic loosening of the prosthesis and revision surgery. Following revision surgery, polyethylene debris particles are commonly identified in numerous locations. In order to more clearly understand the process of particle generation and their associated pathways to ultimate locations of osteolysis in the surrounding joint space, UHMWPE was labelled with radioisotope tracers. In a broader sense, the ultimate goal is to work toward the minimisation of wear debris produced in the knee joint, thereby resulting in a longer prosthetic lifetime.The wear mechanisms and their relevant debris generation wer...
