Kurtz S, Muratoglu O, Gsell R, Greer K, Shen F, Cooper C, et al.
J Biomed Mater Res . 2002 Jan; 63(1):15-23. PMID: 11787024
An international oxidation index standard would greatly benefit the orthopedic community by providing a universal scale for reporting oxidation data of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). We investigated whether severe...

Kurt S, Muratoglu O, Buchanan F, Currier B, Gsell R, Shen F, et al.
Biomaterials . 2001 Sep; 22(21):2875-81. PMID: 11561893
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has emerged as the technique of choice for the quantification of oxidation in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene used in orthopedic implants. We initiated interlaboratory studies to...

Kurtz S, Muratoglu O, Buchanan F, Currier B, Gsell R, Greer K, et al.
Biomaterials . 2001 Jun; 22(13):1731-7. PMID: 11396876
During accelerating aging, experimental uncertainty may arise due to variability in the oxidation process, or due to limitations in the technique that is ultimately used to measure oxidation. The purpose...

McKellop H, Shen F, Lu B, Campbell P, Salovey R
J Bone Joint Surg Am . 2000 Dec; 82(12):1708-25. PMID: 11130644
Background: Wear of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene acetabular cups in hip prostheses produces billions of submicrometer wear particles annually that can cause osteolysis and loosening of the components. Thus, substantial...

McKellop H, Shen F, DiMaio W, Lancaster J
Clin Orthop Relat Res . 1999 Dec; (369):73-82. PMID: 10611862
Crosslinking of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene has been shown to markedly improve its wear resistance in clinical studies and laboratory tests using hip joint simulators. However, because most of the...

Shen F, Yu Y, McKellop H
J Biomed Mater Res . 1999 Jul; 48(3):203-10. PMID: 10398021
Potential sources of error in the use of FTIR to measure the level of oxidation in ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene acetabular cups were evaluated using cups from a hip simulator...

McKellop H, Shen F, Campbell P, Ota T
J Orthop Res . 1999 Jun; 17(3):329-39. PMID: 10376720
Orthopaedic surgeons must currently choose from several types of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene acetabular cups that differ in their material properties and in the methods used for their sterilization....

McKellop H, Shen F, Lu B, Campbell P, Salovey R
J Orthop Res . 1999 Apr; 17(2):157-67. PMID: 10221831
Osteolysis induced by ultra high molecular weight polyethylene wear debris is one of the primary factors limiting the lifespan of total hip replacements. Crosslinking polyethylene is known to improve its...

Shen F, McKellop H, Salovey R
J Biomed Mater Res . 1998 Jun; 41(1):71-8. PMID: 9641626
Morphological characterization of chemically crosslinked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene was performed by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The lamellar thickness of nascent UHMWPE inferred from DSC endotherms showed...
