The Polyethylene History
2005
Our understanding of the wear behavior of polyethylene (PE) components has deepened over the past few years as the adverse effects of gamma irradiation (in air) sterilization have become understood. This understanding has led to methods to improve the wear performance of the polymer using cross-linking. However, it will still be several years before the clinical benefits of new methods of processing PE are clear and the benefit-risk ratio is established.
