Popis:	Hip implants made of crosslinked ultra high molecular weight polyethylene—PE—UHMW— (different as-received conditions) are compared with a retrieval made from non-crosslinked PE-UHMW and a control PE-UHMW. Oxidation leads to recrystallization and the enhanced crystallinity corresponds to higher hardness values. These structure-property relations are discussed for conventional PE-UHMW and also for crosslinked material.
