Crack initiation from a clinically relevant notch in a highly-crosslinked UHMWPE subjected to static and cyclic loading.

Abstract:

:Crosslinked Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), which is used as a bearing material in total joint replacement components, is subjected to static and cyclic loads in vivo. Resistance to crack initiation from a notch as a function of static and cyclic loads is not well understood for crosslinked UHMWPE. This study estimated the resistance of crosslinked UHMWPE (crosslinked with 100 kGy gamma radiation and remelted to extinguish free radicals) to crack initiation for a clinically relevant notch under both static and cyclic loading conditions. For cyclic loading, four frequencies were applied with a sine waveform and two frequencies were applied with a square waveform to independently estimate the effect of frequency and rate of loading on crack initiation. Crack initiation time and cycles to crack initiation were determined. Crack initiation time for fatigue loading conditions was substantially lower compared to static loading conditions. Crack initiation time decreased with an increase in test frequency. A square wave resulted in shorter crack initiation time compared to a sine wave. The results suggest that crosslinked UHMWPE is more resistant to crack initiation from a notch under static loading conditions compared to fatigue loading conditions.
