| Abstract | A method of tissue digestion using sodium hydroxide was applied to the isolation of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and metal particles from periprosthetic tissues. FTIR and EDS verified that the recovered particles were UHMWPE and Ti-6A1-4V. When viewed by SEM morphology and size of particles was determined. Histologic analysis of the tissues confirmed the presence of UHMWPE and metal particles. | |
