Abstract

The UHMWPE has a plastic behaviour but it is specified only the surface wear, unless the evaluation of the great importance of this behaviour of plasticity for the calculation of the depth of penetration. This work tries to demonstrate the fact that there are components of the wear by plastic deformation. Also, by this type of wear an explanation of smooth surface of the UHMWPE in the contact zone, after millions of gaits cycles may be explained Keywords: hip endoprosthesis, wear, penetration depth, roughness, plastic behavior
