Particle disease. A comprehensive theory of periprosthetic osteolysis: a review.

Abstract: Aseptic loosening and osteolysis are considered the main long-term problems of hip arthroplasty. Pathogenesis of periprosthetic osteolysis is multifactorial, and both the biological and mechanical factors seem to play an important role. Bearing surfaces continuously generate excessive amounts of micron and submicron particles provoking an adverse inflammatory response of periprosthetic connective tissues. In general, a key role has been attributed to macrophages. Cytokines, growth factors, PGE2, and enzymes ar… Show more

“…Although animal models have shown T cells are dispensable in the development of osteolysis [25,39,72], a recent in vitro study showed depletion of T cells or the addition of RANK-Fc to human peripheral blood cell cultures equally reduced osteoclast formation in response to RANKL [65]. Additionally, the current findings and those of others [28,61] support the potential involvement of T cells in human osteolytic responses after recruitment by chemotactic factors released from activated macrophages [5,19,63,68]. In agreement with other reports, we observed distinct regional and patient differences in the immune cell responses [8,28,36,40] and notably a corresponding heterogeneity in UHMWPE particle number.…”

“…1,2 AL due to wear debrisinduced osteolysis is the most common cause of implant failure. 3 Wear debris-induced persistent inflammation and osteoclastogenesis are two critical factors in the etiology of AL. 15 There is currently no cure for AL except surgical revision.…”

“…9,10 Recent studies have demonstrated that the RANKL expression is increased in tissues adjacent to loose prostheses in patients. 3,6,8,11 Using a mouse inflammation model, 12 we have demonstrated that ultrahigh molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) debris provokes tissue inflammation associated with a significant increase of RANKL gene expression. 4 In fact, blocking RANKL activity using either an antagonist RANK:Fc IgG 13 or an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated OPG gene therapy 14 inhibit wear debris-stimulated osteoclast formation and bone resorption.…”

“…These data are interesting because one favored hypothesis concerning the pathogenesis of AL is that wear particles generated from the prosthesis stimulate phagocytosis by macrophages with the subsequent release of proinflammatory cytokines. [14][15][16] Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been widely used in total joint prosthesis, and UHMWPE components removed at revision surgery usually show evidence of wear. 17,18 Using our established mouse osteolysis model, we have demonstrated that UHMWPE particles provoke significant inflammation, osteoclastogenesis, and bone resorption.…”
