The balance of bone formation and resorption is the result of a regulated crosstalk between osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. Inflammation, mechanical load, and external stimuli modulate this system. Exposure of bone cells to metal ions or wear particles are thought to cause osteolysis via activation of osteoclasts and inhibition of osteoblast activity. Co ions have been shown to impair osteoblast function and the expression of the three transforming growth factor (TGF)-β isoforms. The current study was performed to analyze how Co and Cr influence the expression, proliferation, and migration profile of osteoblast-like cells. The influence of Co, Cr, and CoCr particles on gene expression was analyzed using an osteogenesis PCR Array. The expression of different members of the TGF-β signaling cascade were down-regulated by Co, as well as several TGF-β regulated collagens, however, Cr had no effect. CoCr particles partially affected similar genes as the Cotreatment. Total collagen production of Co treated osteoblasts was reduced, which can be explained by the reduced expression levels of various collagens. While proliferation of MG63 cells appears unaffected by Co, the migration capacity was impaired. Our data may improve the knowledge of changes in gene expression patterns, and the proliferation and migration effects caused by artificial materials.

Various surface modifications to increase the lifespan of cobalt-chromium (CoCr) joint prostheses are being studied to reduce the wear rate in bone joint applications. One recently proposed modification involves depositing graphene oxide functionalized with hyaluronic acid (a compound present in joints) on CoCr surfaces, which can act as a solid lubricant. This paper analyzes the biological alterations caused by wear-corrosion phenomena that occur in joints, both from the perspective of the worn surface (in vitro model) and the particles generated during the wear processes (in vivo model).

Materials And Methods: Initially, 20 kg of virgin Co-Cr powder was loaded into a laser-sintering device. The tensile test specimens were fabricated in the first (Group 1), fourth (Group 2), seventh (Group 3), tenth (Group 4), and thirteenth (Group 5) production cycles (N = 15).

Introduction: The release of mature interleukin (IL-) 1β from osteoblasts in response to danger signals is tightly regulated by the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. These danger signals include wear products resulting from aseptic loosening of joint arthroplasty. However, inflammasome activation requires two different signals: a nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-activating priming signal and an actual inflammasome-activating signal.

Materials And Methods: A total of 160 CoCr disks were divided into 3 groups. The first group (N = 64) was air abraded with alumina particles and contaminated with a silicone disclosing agent and saliva; the second group (N = 64) was air abraded but not contaminated; the third group (N = 32) was neither air abraded nor contaminated.

The majority of contemporary total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants are constructed from Ti alloys, which are generally believed to generate fewer adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) compared to CoCr alloys. This study presents a case of unusual primary THA failure where a substantial release of Ti alloy debris was observed. A 52-year-old active male underwent THA after post-traumatic aseptic necrosis of the femoral head in 2006.
