Early failure of sequentially annealed polyethylene in total knee arthroplasty

Arthroplasty Today, 2020
Improvements in the processing of polyethylene have led to a dramatic reduction in wear rates in total hip arthroplasty. This led to the adoption of modern highly cross-linked polyethylene in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Conventional versus highly cross-linked polyethylene in primary total knee replacement : a comparison of revision rates using data from the National Joint Registry for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland [PDF]

, 2020
There is evidence to support the use of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. However, the benefits for those undergoing total knee arthroplasty are uncertain, with conflicting reports based on previous ...

Influence of thermal treatment and residues on space charge accumulation in XLPE for DC power cable application [PDF]

, 2007
Effects of cross-linking by-products (residues) of polyethylene on space charge accumulation and decay are investigated in the paper using the pulsed electro-acoustic technique.

Wear, bone density, functional outcome and survival in vitamin E-incorporated polyethylene cups in reversed hybrid total hip arthroplasty: design of a randomized controlled trial

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2012
Background Aseptic loosening of total hip arthroplasties is generally caused by periprosthetic bone resorption due to tissue reactions on polyethylene wear particles.

Charge distribution and electroluminescence in cross-linked polyethylene under dc field [PDF]

, 2001
The intent of this paper is to cross-correlate the information obtained by space charge distribution analysis and electroluminescence (EL) detection in cross-linked polyethylene samples submitted to dc fields, with the objective to make a link between ...

Correlations between physico-chemical properties and dielectric behavior of thermally aged XLPE cables insulation

ENP Engineering Science Journal, 2022
The carried out investigations aim at clarifying the correlations between physico-chemical properties and the variation of dielectric losses of Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) as Medium Voltage cable insulation during thermal aging. The used cables were

The relationship between charge distribution, charge packet formation and electroluminescence in XLPE under DC [PDF]

, 2001
Different reports describing the internal distribution of space charge in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) under DC field have been published recently. The most striking fact observed is the organization of the space charge into charge packets that cross

Quantification of the effect of cross-shear and applied nominal contact pressure on the wear of moderately cross-linked polyethylene [PDF]

, 2013
Polyethylene wear is a great concern in total joint replacement. It is now considered a major limiting factor to the long life of such prostheses. Cross-linking has been introduced to reduce the wear of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE ...

Mobility‐limited charge injection in cross‐linked polyethylene under extra high electric field

High Voltage, 2021
In this study, characteristics of charge injection under extra high electric field (above 100 kV/mm) in cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) were investigated by experiments of conduction current and space charge.

Incarcerated fracture fragments of Longevity polyethylene liners after total hip arthroplasty

Arthroplasty Today, 2016
Highly cross-linked polyethylene liners are widely used in total hip arthroplasty because they experience lower wear rates than conventional polyethylene liners.
