Volumetric Wear of Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene Sockets in Total Hip Arthroplasty Differs Among Brands: A Retrieval Study

Outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain limited by wear and wear particle reaction. Although highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) mitigated this issue, there are major differences among the various brands available. This study quantified, for the first time, the vo...

High variability in resistance to valgus deformation among knee braces indicated for medial collateral ligament injuries: a standardized bench-model biomechanical comparison

Abstract Introduction To quantify valgus deformation and per-load mechanical stiffness of commercially available knee braces indicated for medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries, and to evaluate whether mechanical performance is associated with material classification and qual...
