Although terminal sterilization with gamma radiation in air promotes cross-linking, which improves wear resistance, it also results in free radicals, which can oxidize and degrade the mechanical properties of polyethylene liners used for total hip arthroplasty. For this reason, non-cross-linked polyethylene components have also been sterilized with chemical surface treatments, such as gas plasma. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that conventional polyethylene liners cross-linked by sterilization with gamma radiation in air had better in vivo wear performance than non-cross-linked liners sterilized with gas plasma.
