Nineteen ultra-high-molecular-weighted polyethylene (UHMWPE) cups were retrieved at revision surgery. The implant period was on average 9.9 (0.25-20.7) years. The cups were classified into the high-wear group (wear rate above 140 mm(3)/year), intermediate-wear group (wear rate 80-140 mm(3)/year) and low-wear group (wear rate below 80 mm(3)/year). The wear rate was measured by a fluid displacement method. The cups were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Ripples mainly appeared on the cups in the low-wear group, and nodules and fibrils mainly appeared in the high-wear group. Folding was observed in all cups, but folding with numerous fibrils was conspicuous in the high-wear group. The cup retrieved at 3 months already exhibited folding. From these results, the wear response appeared to be a three-step process: (1) foldings are generated, (2) ripples are formed on the surface, and (3) fibrils are produced from the surface and delaminated, leading to the formation of wear debris.
