Backside Wear Analysis of Retrieved Acetabular Liners with a Press-Fit Locking Mechanism in Comparison to Wear Simulation In Vitro

Figure 2

Images from each wear mode: (a) pitting, (b) scratching, (c) burnishing, (d) abrasion, (e) embedded particles, and (f) deformation. No image of delamination was taken, as this wear mode was not present in any of the inserts.
