BY Cliff Hart 2020-05-10When the metal head has been used on the polyethylene joint for a certain period of time (usually 10-20 years), the generated polyethylene particles are scattered around the joint cavity prosthesis (acetabular and femoral prosthesis), and the body reacts to these particles. It is believed that these particles are foreign substances, triggering a sterile inflammatory response of the body.7
