Background

Although the wear of conventional polyethylene liner becomes a serious problem in a long term follow up after total knee arthroplasty, there are few reports of measuring the polyethylene wear.

Questions/purposes

Is it possible to measure the linear wear rates in the non-cross-linked polyethylene liner used in the Press Fit Condylar (PFC) Sigma total knee system? Does the polyethylene wear influence on the clinical results?
