Abstract
⺠Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was loaded with alendronate sodium (ALN) to treat osteolysis. ⺠The ALN release of ALN-loaded UHMWPE during wear process was investigated and compared with that without wear process. ⺠The presence of ALN gave rise to the different wear behavior of ALN-loaded UHMWPE compared with that of UHMWPE in water. ⺠The ALN release of ALN-loaded UHMWPE was greatly promoted by the wear process.
