Abstract

The purpose of this paper is a radiological evaluation of the prosthetic polyethylene component wear in time (years), a quantification of this wear depending on the different types of prostheses and a correlation between the degree of wear and the radiological signs of deterioration of the periprosthetic bone structures, resulting in mobilization of the prosthetic components (loosening). Keywords: polyethylene, hip prosthesis, particle disease, loosening
