Influence of highly cross-linked polyethylene manufacturing characteristics on femoral head penetration in total hip arthroplasty
Although HXLPE characteristics can result in different wear performance in patients undergoing THA at a mean follow-up of 15 years, the clinical and radiological results were excellent in all groups. The position of the acetabular component can influence the femoral head penetration of modern HXLPEs.
