Abstract
A quantitative chemical analysis of individual wear particles, ranging from 5 to 75 microns, using Raman micro-probe spectrometer was presented. Raman spectroscopy is a great technique to identify wear debris of polyethylene and other Raman active materials. Raman analysis of the chemical nature of polyethylene revealed the presence of beta carotene on both polyethylene wear particles and retrieved tibial inserts.
