Hip simulator studies show that the wear Of Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene against a cobalt alloy head depends oil the wear path, especially the combination of a predominantly linear wear direction Oil Which is Superimposed motions in different directions. We postulated that Multidirectional motion was necessary to generate realistic wear rates in pin-on-disk testing. To assess this hypothesis, a new pin-on-disk tester was developed, capable of unidirectional ind bidirectional motion. Unidirectional motion produced no detectable wear. The rectangular motion produced wear rates, Surface morphologies, and wear particles consistent with human acetabular specimens. The results for 1 Hz and 2 Hz were similar.
