Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene in Total Hip and Knee Replacement: Spatial Distribution of Molecular Orientation and Shape Recovery Behavior
Figure 5
Orientation distribution functions (ODFs, ) calculated at the different depth of the as-received XLPE hip (a) and knee (b) components. Depth profiles of degree of crystalline anisotropy, collected in the as-received XLPE hip and knee components (c).
