“…Many factors contribute to polyethylene wear, including implant design variables (geometric features and material properties) [1,2,23,28,31,36], surgical variables (implantation method and component positioning) [15,16], and patient factors [10,14,39]. Regarding patient factors, gait and motion patterns have been shown to affect the hip contact force, one of the variables that influences polyethylene wear [20,21].…”
