High-density polyethylene (HDP) has been used in clinical practice in total hip replacement since its introduction by Charnley in November 1962. Fears are being expressed that this may be the weakest link and the ultimate cause of failure of the arthroplasty. Long-term clinical experience suggests that loosening may be the primary cause while the presence of HDP wear particles is secondary. Healing of endosteal cavities can take place in the presence of HDP wear particles.
