The mechanism of inner bearing stiffness of bipolar hip prostheses has been investigated. The Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) component of the Bateman bipolar hip prosthesis has been subjected to a series of static and dynamic tests to assess water absorption and creep. Although deformation of the UHMWPE occurred, this did not produce an increased resistance to movement in the inner bearing.
