Abstract
The biologic response to polyethylene particulate debris generated from metalon-polyethylene bearing surfaces is thought to be largely responsible for periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening in total joint arthroplasty. As a result, there has been an interest in developing polyethyleKeywords
