Photographs of a constraint UHMWPE prosthesis: (a) Different sides of the post are marked as follows: A: anterior, L: lateral, M: medial, P: posterior. (b) Sawed off UHMWPE prosthesis mounted on an aluminum specimen stub with electrically conductive carbon and sputtered with 15 nm gold for scanning electron microscopic investigation. (c) Top view to the prosthesis with the marked specific locations defined by the running numbers 1 to 12.
