Abstract
At long-term follow-up of >10 years, highly crosslinked polyethylene has a very low wear rate. This excellent tribology is independent of acetabular position. The low wear rate highlights the excellent results of metal on highly crosslinked polyethylene, and supports its use in total hip arthroplasty.
