Debris displaced from the articular and backside surfaces of the polyethylene inserts of modular tibial components is considered a chief cause of osteolysis at the sites of total knee arthroplasties. One design of total knee replacement featured changes, over time, in the proximal surface roughness of the tibial baseplate and the method of sterilization of the polyethylene insert. We hypothesized that polishing the baseplate surface and sterilizing the insert with means other than gamma radiation in air had reduced the prevalence of osteolysis.
