For the past 17 years, we have favored treating patients with polyethylene wear and osteolysis by performing a liner exchange with retention of the old shell when possible. Using our institutional database, we identified 187 acetabular revisions in which we had retained the old shell. Among this group, we found 25 rerevisions. These included 10 for hip instability, 9 for cup loosening, 3 for recurrence of excessive wear or osteolysis, 2 for infection, and 1 for dissociation of the replaced liner. The need for rerevision varied with the different retained shell designs. We rerevised 17% of the total hip arthroplasties with old spiked shells, 21% with Arthropor shells, 13% with Triloc shells and 5% with Duraloc shells. Before making a decision to retain or remove a well-fixed old acetabular shell, we recommend consideration of the design's past track record and careful inspection of the condition of the existing shell.

The development of strategies for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening of prostheses stands as a critical area of global research interest. The pyroptosis of local macrophages triggered by wear particles plays a pivotal role in the onset of periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent loosening. Extracellular vesicles, carrying the surface components and regulatory molecules of their parent cells, embody the cellular characteristics and biological functions of these progenitors.

Background: Periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening are the leading causes of failure following total joint arthroplasty. Osteogenic impairment induced by wear particles is regarded as a crucial contributing factor in the development of osteolysis, with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress identified as a key underlying mechanism. Therefore, identifying potential therapeutic targets and agents that can regulate ER stress adaption in osteoblasts is necessary for arresting aseptic loosening.

Peri-prosthesis osteolysis (PPO) represents the most severe complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery and imposes the primary cause of prosthesis failure and subsequent revision surgery. Antiresorptive therapies are usually prescribed to treat PPO, especially for elderly people. Nevertheless, the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic medications remains constrained.

Purpose: The polarization of macrophages towards the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and osteoclast overactivation play a significant role in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants. This study sought to examine the expression and activation of macrophages and osteoclasts in implant biopsies with respect to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and to assess the potential of EGFR inhibition in mitigating titanium particle-induced bone resorption in a cranial resorption murine model.

Methods: Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stimulated with Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) initially.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights that wear debris from joint implants leads to excessive osteoclast activity, causing bone loss and implant failure in total joint surgeries.
  • Researchers developed hollow ruthenium oxide (RuO) nanospheres as an antioxidant to combat this problem by inhibiting processes that promote osteoclast formation and activity.
  • In experiments, these RuO nanospheres successfully reduced bone loss and negative tissue changes in mice exposed to harmful implant materials, suggesting potential for broader therapeutic uses in related inflammatory conditions.
