Abstract

Wear of polyethylene acetabular cups in patients of total hip arthroplasty is routinely deduced from the penetration of the femoral head into the acetabular liner as observed in the radiographs. However, the linear penetration thus measured represents the cumulative contribution of two components, one due to wear, and the other due to creep or irreversible deformation of the polyethylene structure. The erroneous attribution to wear of the entire penetration displacement of the head in the cup might lead to misinterpretation of the actual performance of acetabular cups. The aim of this study was to quantify the head displacement components due to wear and to creep, as they occur in vivo in acetabular cups, and to relate them to the oxidation state of the material by means of advanced Raman spectroscopy procedures. Throughout the investigation, we compared the behaviors on the molecular scale of acetabular cups subjected to different sterilization methods (i.e., γ-irradiation and ethylene oxide treatment).
