Highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to reduce wear and consequent revisions for loosening due to conventional polyethylene (CPE) wear. This study aims to analyse whether HXLPE is as safe as CPE and could improve the TKA clinical and radiological results in a long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to reduce wear and consequent revisions for loosening due to conventional polyethylene (CPE) wear. This study aims to analyse whether HXLPE is as safe as CPE and could improve the TKA clinical and radiological results in a long-term follow-up.
