- Abstract
Suggestions for improved wear performance of total knee replacements have included replacement of standard CoCr femoral components with ceramic and replacement of 3.5-Mrad ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) inserts with 5- or 7-Mrad UHMWPE inserts. The ceramic materials used clinically have included alumina, zirconia ceramic and oxidized zirconium.
