| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Lipids such as squalene （SQ） have been reported to be absorbed in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene （UHMWPE） components of joint prostheses during use in vivo. SQ absorption and subsequent accelerated aging was found to induce the degradation of the mechanical and wear properties of UHMWPE in vitro, especially near the surfaces. Investigation of retrieved components revealed the degraded strength near the surfaces in most of the components, indicating lipid-induced degradation of UHMWPE in vivo. Larger quantities of extracts were collected from components retrieved from patients with osteoarthritis than those from patients with fracture or osteonecrosis, indicating the influence of the differences in constituents of the joint fluids due to the disease.
