Background: The rate of revision for some designs of total hip replacements due to idiopathic aseptic loosening has been reported as higher for women. However, whether this is environmental or inherently sex-related is not clear.
Objective: Can particle induced osteolysis be sex dependent? And if so, is this dependent on the type of implant debris (. metal polymer)? The objective of this study was to test for material dependent inflammatory osteolysis that may be linked to sex using CoCrMo and implant grade conventional polyethylene (UHMWPE), using an murine calvaria model.
Methods: Healthy 12 week old female and male C57BL/6J mice were treated with UHMWPE (1.0um ECD) or CoCrMo particles (0.9um ECD) or received sham surgery. Bone resorption was assessed by micro-computed tomography, histology and histomorphometry on day 12 post challenge.
Results: Female mice that received CoCrMo particles showed significantly more inflammatory osteolysis and bone destruction compared to the females who received UHMWPE implant debris. Moreover, females challenged with CoCrMo particles exhibited 120% more inflammatory bone loss compared to males (p<0.01) challenged with CoCrMo implant debris (but this was not the case for UHMWPE particles).
Conclusion: We demonstrated sex-specific differences in the amount of osteolysis resulting from CoCrMo particle challenge. This suggests osteo-immune responses to metal debris are preferentially higher in female compared to male mice, and supports the contention that there may be inherent sex related susceptibility to some types of implant debris.

A Micro-CT Based Cadaveric Study Investigating Bone Density Changes During Hip Arthroplasty Surgery.

The impact of broaching and uncemented implantation on bone density during total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unclear. Previous studies have typically examined extracted bone sections, which may not directly correlate with outcomes in human hip systems. This study aimed to evaluate bone density changes resulting from broaching and uncemented implantation using micro-computed tomography (μCT) on cadaveric samples.

Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an important tool in reducing stroke risk associated with this intervention. With the recent expansion of TAVR into lower-risk populations, the role of preventive strategies gained greater significance. Despite advancements in TAVR technologies, peri-procedural stroke remains a significant complication, with rates ranging between 2 and 5%.

Maxillary sinusitis is a recognized complication following dental procedures, but its occurrence after orthognathic surgery, such as Le Fort osteotomies, remains less documented. This case report presents a 58-year-old female who developed unilateral maxillary sinusitis 23 years post-orthognathic surgery. The patient was asymptomatic, aside from occasional cacosmia, and was incidentally found to have sinus opacification on a computed tomography (CT) scan performed for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.

Statement Of Problem: Three months after implant placement, difficulty was encountered in unscrewing the healing abutment within the normal torque range (<35 Ncm), resulting in the removal of the implant. Despite all attempts, the implant could not then be separated from the healing abutment. Retrospective analysis of intraoperative photographs revealed the presence of blood or bone debris within the implant before the healing abutment was placed; this was considered to be the likely cause of this phenomenon.

Silent Brain Infarction (SBI) is increasingly recognized in patients with cardiac conditions, particularly Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients and those undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). While these infarcts often go unnoticed due to a lack of acute symptoms, they are associated with a threefold increase in stroke risk and are considered a precursor to ischemic stroke. Moreover, accumulating evidence suggests that SBI may contribute to the development of dementia, depression, and cognitive decline, particularly in the elderly population.
