Popis: The linear penetration rates for ceramic femoral heads on conventional and highly cross-linked polyethylene were measured and compared with radiographs taken in the standing and supine position taken three weeks postoperatively and at final follow-up. Seventy-five patients (83 hips) with conventional polyethylene (group-1) and two hundred and seventy five patients (300 hips) with highly cross-linked polyethylene (group-2) were studied. Follow-up periods were 14.5years in group-1 and 8.6years in group-2. The average penetration rates in group-1 were 0.17mm/year in supine position and 0.18mm/year in standing position (P
