Influence of Demographic, Surgical and Implant Variables on Wear Rate and Osteolysis in Abg I Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract: Periprosthetic osteolysis is associated with accelerated wear rates. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of demographic and technical variables on wear rates and size of osteolytic lesions. Eighty retrieved ABG I prostheses were analyzed according to prospectively established criteria. There were 22 men and 58 women with an average age of 52 years (34-65) at the time of revision. The average time from index surgery to revision was 67 months (26 to 106). Polyethylene wear measurements were p… Show more

“…OL and aseptic loosening pointed predominantly to accelerated wear rate 9 . It has been disclosed that PE liners made from GUR 415 resins and sterilized by gamma irradiation in air, can undergo signifi cant deterioration in their mechanical and chemical properties after longterm in vivo functioning 18 .…”

“…The reason for any revision was prospectively recorded and retrieved cups underwent detailed examination that included in vitro wear measurement using a Universal-type measuring microscope 9 . To exclude sepsis as a reason for failure, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, intra-operative cultures and histology for all revised hips were routinely investigated.…”

“…10 In contrast, however, there are many patients that escape the above-mentioned fate despite having the same type of THA with comparable alignment and physical activity. 21 In this line of thought, the key question is: How do these patients avoid developing periprosthetic osteolysis mechanically?…”

“…In a previous study, we found a high risk for increased wear rate associated with this prosthesis [9]. Moreover, the univariate analyses revealed that wear rate was influenced by primary diagnosis, use of zirconia ceramic heads, medial cup settlement, and date of surgery.…”
