7 Volumetric wear rate of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) convex (caudal) surfaces of the five PCM cervical disc prostheses that underwent simulated wear. Paul D. Postak et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2010;92:68-73 ©2010 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

8 Volumetric wear rate of the cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) concave (cephalic) surfaces of the five PCM cervical disc prostheses that underwent simulated wear. Paul D. Postak et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2010;92:68-73 ©2010 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

9 Photograph of a retrieved PCM disc replacement, demonstrating surface polishing (arrow) of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene convex (caudal) surface; this damage pattern was similar to that seen in the simulator components.
