Crosslinked Liners for THA Reduce Wear and Osteolysis.

The article focuses on a study on effects of cross-linked polyethylene liners for total hip arthroplasty (THA) which was discussed during the 2011 annual meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS). Researchers of the study have found that the improved wear performance of crosslinked liners has led in a reduced incidence of revision. It mentions that the study has received the Lawrence D. Dorr Award as the most excellent paper in surgical techniques and technologies.
