A prognosis for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene.

R M Rose1, E L Radin.   

Abstract

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMPWE) is now the material of choice for total joint replacement prostheses, in combination with a metal surface against which the polymer articulates. As this material has now been in use in this application for approximately three decades and other limiting factors (e.g. loosening of the prosthesis) have been improved upon, it is appropriate to attempt a long-term prognosis.
