This is the first report of in vivo wear particles from four total hip arthroplasties using remelted highly crosslinked polyethylene. The number of particles was (1.51 ± 0.45) × 107g−1(mean ± standard error); particle size (equivalent circle diameter), 0.72 ± 0.15 µm; and roundness, 1.45 ± 0.05. Remelted highly crosslinked polyethylene generates fewer, rounder, equivalently sized particles compared with corresponding reported values for particles generated from conventional polyethylene.
