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

Figure 9

Summary of the total average wear score for retrieved liners. The dashed red line represents the total average backside wear score for the in vitro tested liners, while the red shadow shows the 95% confidence interval. The liner with “” was articulated against a CoCr femoral head; the others were articulated against ceramic femoral heads. Maximum total backside wear score possible = 147.
