In 2022, data from the UK's National Joint Registry (NJR) and the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) indicated that Total Hip Replacement (THR) is the most commonly performed orthopaedic joint surgery. The NJR has observed that between 10 and 20% of hip implants require revision within the first 10 years. The main reasons for these revisions include implant fractures, joint incompatibility, aseptic loosening, dislocation and wear of the polyethylene (PE) insert. To address this problem, highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) inserts have been developed. Cross-linking helps to limit wear on polyethylene prostheses in total hip arthroplasty. However, there are concerns about the loss of elasticity of HXLPE and oxidation after implantation. A new generation of inserts based on highly cross-linked polyethylene (irradiation dose ≥100 Kgy), enriched with vitamin E, has been develo
