Partículas de polietileno en líquido sinovial tras artroplastia de rodilla con un polietileno convencional o uno altamente entrecruzado. Estudio preliminar

Although several in vitro studies in vitro using different types of highly crosslinked polyethylene found a significant reduction, we did not find that that wear was reduced in the knees of these patients. The great variability in the number of particles between individuals suggests that polyethylene wear in vivo depends on many factors, so perhaps the type of polyethylene is not the most significant factor.
