Abstract

In the current practice highly crosslinked UHMWPE liners are used mainly in combination with metal femoral heads. The current study demonstrates the 5-year results of highly crosslinked UHMWPE (Longevity ®) acetabular liners in combination with 28mm alumina (BIOLOX ®) heads. In comparison with a historical control group linear wear rates were significantly reduced. The combination of highly crosslinked UHMWPE with alumina heads may therefore be useful in further reducing wear.
