Abstract
Implant-generated particle wears are considered as the major cause for the induction of implant loosening, which is more susceptible to patients with osteoporosis. Monotherapy with parathyroid hormone (PTH) or zoledronate acid (ZOL) has been proven efficient for preventing early-stage periprosthetic osteolysis, while the combination therapy with PTH and ZOL has exerted beneficial effects on the treatment of posterior lumbar vertebral fusion and disuse osteopenia. However, PTH and ZOL still have not been licensed for the treatment of implant loosening to date clinically. In this study, we have explored the effect of single or combined administration with PTH and ZOL on implant loosening in a rat model of osteoporosis. After 12 weeks of ovariectomized surgery, a femoral particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis model was established. Vehicle, PTH (5 days per week), ZOL (100 mg/kg per week), or combination therapy was utilized for another 6 weeks before sacrifice, followed by micro-CT, histology, mechanical testing, and bone turnover examination. PTH monotherapy or combined PTH with ZOL exerted a protective effect on maintaining implant stability by elevating periprosthetic bone mass and inhibiting pseudomembrane formation. Moreover, an additive effect was observed when combining PTH with ZOL, resulting in better fixation strength, higher periprosthetic bone mass, and less pseudomembrane than PTH monotherapy. Taken together, our results suggested that a combination therapy of PTH and ZOL might be a promising approach for the intervention of early-stage implant loosening in patients with osteoporosis.

The use of bone turnover markers for monitoring the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal females undergoing total knee arthroplasty: a prospective randomized study. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:195. [PMID: 33731168 PMCID: PMC7968280 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02343-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis (OP) and osteoarthritis (OA) commonly coexist in postmenopausal females. The decrease in bone density and increase in bone resorption in postmenopausal females with OP may consequently affect the surgical outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, clinicians often ignore monitoring the treatment of OP in the perioperative management of TKA. Bone turnover marker (BTM) can timely and accurately reflect bone metabolism to monitor the treatment of OP. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BTM monitoring to guide the treatment of OP in postmenopausal females undergoing TKA. METHODS Postmenopausal females with OP who underwent primary unilateral TKA were randomly divided into two groups (monitoring group and control group), given oral medication (alendronate, calcitriol, and calcium), and followed for 1 year. In the monitoring group, serum BTMs (C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), and 25(OH)D) were assessed preoperatively and repeated postoperatively; alendronate was withdrawn when CTX-I and PINP reached the reference interval; and calcitriol and calcium were withdrawn when 25(OH)D reached the reference interval. In the control group, oral medication was implemented for a uniform duration of 3 months. During the 1-year follow-up, the mean maximum total point motion (MTPM) of the tibial component, bone mineral density (BMD), visual analog scale (VAS) score, range of motion, and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) score were obtained. RESULTS In the monitoring group, BTM monitoring prolonged the medication duration, but did not cause more adverse reactions than in the control group. The mean MTPM values at 6 m and 12 m in the monitoring group were lower than those in the control group, and the BMD at 12 m in the monitoring group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Patients in the monitoring group had lower VAS scores at 6 m and higher OKS scores at 6 m and 12 m than those in the control group. CONCLUSION In postmenopausal females with osteoporosis undergoing primary TKA, the application of BTM monitoring to guide the treatment of osteoporosis can enhance bone density, maintain prosthesis stability, and improve surgical outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment of hard tissue defects, especially those of bone and cartilage, induced by infections or tumors remains challenging. Traditional methods, including debridement with systematic chemotherapy, have shortcomings owing to their inability to eliminate infections and high systematic toxicity. AREA COVERED This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses the current applications of 3D-printed porous tantalum (3D-P-p-Ta), a novel drug delivery strategy, in drug delivery systems to repair hard tissue defects, as well as the limitations of existing data and potential future research directions. EXPERT OPINION Drug delivery systems have advanced medical treatments, with the advantages of high local drug concentration, long drug-release period, and minimal systematic toxicity. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, ideal mechanical property, and anti-corrosion ability, porous tantalum is one of the most preferable loading scaffolds. 3D printing allows for freedom of design and facilitates the production of regular porous implants with high repeatability. There are several reports on the application of 3D-P-p-Ta in drug delivery systems for the management of infection- or tumor-associated bone defects, yet, to the best of our knowledge, no reviews have summarized the current research progress.

Abstract
The anti-resorptive properties of bisphosphonates have been explored to manage several conditions that traditionally have required a surgical solution. In osteonecrosis, their use is predicated on the principle that bone collapse occurs during the revascularisation phase of the disease. If the associated resorptive activity were modulated, the resultant preserved joint architecture may improve clinical outcome and reduce the need for joint replacement. Pre-clinical and small-scale clinical studies have given non-conclusive support for this principle. Adequately powered clinical trials with relevant long-term endpoints are still required to firmly clarify the clinical efficacy of this treatment. Several clinical studies have shown that bisphosphonates can reduce periprosthetic bone loss and, in some situations, enhance implant fixation in the early period after joint replacement. This may be advantageous in settings where osseointegration is problematic. However, the ultimate goals of their use in joint replacement has been to reduce the incidence of late periprosthetic inflammatory osteolysis, the main cause of prosthesis failure. Population-based observational studies have associated bisphosphonate use with a lower incidence of revision surgery, supported by pre-clinical data. However, clinical trials have, to date, failed to demonstrate any efficacy for the human disease. The timing of bisphosphonate administration for secondary prevention after acute osteoporotic fracture has been subject to extensive investigation, with pre-clinical studies showing increased callus formation but decreased remodelling and no effect on the restoration of mechanical integrity of bone. Meta-analysis of clinical trial data indicates that early administration of bisphosphonate after acute fracture does not adversely affect fracture union, pain or functional outcomes. Finally, bisphosphonates have also been explored as a treatment for complex regional pain syndrome type-I. A recent meta-analysis has shown a beneficial effect on visual analogue scale pain scores, but an increase in mild adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the application of a custom acetabular prosthesis (CAP) for total hip replacement (THR) in a dog 20 months after femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHNO). STUDY DESIGN Case report. ANIMAL A 10-year-old, male, castrated, Labrador retriever with progressive lameness and pain after FHNO. METHODS Acetabular bone stock was assessed as insufficient for conventional THR, so a biflanged CAP was designed and three-dimensionally printed in titanium to bridge the bone defect. The CAP had a porous surface for long-term biologic fixation on the backside and was anchored to the ilium and ischium with screws. A polyethylene cup was cemented into the CAP, and a bolted cementless femoral stem was inserted. RESULTS The loss of the conventional anatomic landmarks complicated intraoperative orientation and led to eccentric reaming and 5-mm malalignment of the CAP. Reduction of the prosthetic joint was difficult because of periarticular fibrosis, loss of functional muscle length, and thickness of the CAP, and intraoperative shortening of the stem neck was required. Postoperative complications included sciatic neurapraxia, which resolved with time and conservative management. Absence of pain and improvement of range of motion were observed at clinical examination 12 months after surgery; however, moderate hind limb lameness persisted due to muscle tension. No evidence of implant loosening was noted on radiographs acquired 24 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Femoral head and neck ostectomy with poor functional outcome was ameliorated by using a CAP in this dog. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Use of a CAP can be considered to treat acetabular defects in dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic bone loss following total hip arthroplasty (THA) was a well-known phenomenon. This systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of bisphosphonates (BPs) for decreasing periprosthetic bone resorption. METHODS The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to March 2018. Randomized controlled trials compared the effects between administrating BPs and placebo or no medication were eligible; the target participants were patients who underwent THA. Mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated by using the random-effects models. Statistical analyses were performed by RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Fourteen trials involving 620 patients underwent THA were retrieved. BPs significantly prevented the loss of periprosthetic bone mineral density at 1 year (MD, 0.06 [95% CI, 0.03 to 0.08], p < 0.001), between 2 and 4 years (MD, 0.04 [95% CI, 0.01 to 0.07], p = 0.02), and more than 5 years after THA (MD, 0.08 [95% CI, 0.06 to 0.11], p < 0.001). Both serum bone alkaline phosphatase (MD, - 7.28 [95% CI, - 9.81 to - 4.75], p < 0.001) and urinary N-telopeptide of type I collagen (MD, - 24.37 [95% CI, - 36.37 to - 12.37], p < 0.001) in BP group were significantly lower. Subgroup analyses showed that the third-generation BPs were more effective in decreasing periprosthetic bone loss than the first and second generation within 1 year after THA (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION BPs were beneficial to decreasing periprosthetic bone loss. The third-generation BPs showed significantly efficacy for patients in short-term observation.

Abstract
We completed a systematic literature review of in vivo animal models that use arthrotomy-based methods to study particle-induced peri-implant osteolysis. The purpose of the review was to characterize the models developed to date, to determine the questions addressed, to assess scientific rigor and transparency, and to identify gaps in knowledge. We probed three literature databases (Medline, Embase, and Scopus) and found 77 manuscripts that fit the search parameters. In the most recent 10 years, researchers mainly used rat and mouse models, whereas in the previous 20 years, large animal, canine, and rabbit models were more common. The studies have demonstrated several pathophysiology pathways, including macrophage migration, particle phagocytosis, increased local production of cytokines and lysosomal enzymes, elevated bone resorption, and suppressed bone formation. The effect of variation in particle characteristics and concentration received limited attention with somewhat mixed findings. Particle contamination by endotoxin was shown to exacerbate peri-implant osteolysis. The possibility of early diagnosis was demonstrated through imaging and biomarker approaches. Several studies showed that both local and systemic delivery of bisphosphonates inhibits the development of particle-induced osteolysis. Other methods of inhibiting osteolysis include the use of anabolic agents and altering the implant design. Few studies examined non-surgical rescue of loosened implants, with conflicting results with alendronate. We found that the manuscripts often lacked the methodological detail now advocated by the ARRIVE guidelines, suggesting that improvement in reporting would be useful to maximize rigor and transparency. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Background Initial micromotion of a total hip replacement is associated with aseptic loosening. The use of bisphosphonates could be one way to reduce peri-implant bone resorption induced by micromotion. Bisphosphonates compounds are inhibitors of bone resorption. The aim of this study was to investigate whether local treatment with bisphosphonate would reduce bone resorption and fibrous tissue around an experimental implant subjected to micromotion. Methods One micromotion implant were inserted into each medial femoral condyle in ten sheep. During each gait cycle the implant axially piston 0.5 mm. During surgery one of the femoral condyles were locally treated with 0.8 mg zoledronate. The other condyle served as control. Observation period was 12 weeks. Results Histological evaluation showed a fibrous capsule around both the control and bisphosphonate implants. Histomorphometrical analysis showed that 97% of the surface on both control and bisphosphonate implants were covered by fibrous tissue. However, the bisphosphonate was able to preserve bone in a 1 mm zone around the implants. Conclusion This study indicates that local treatment with bisphosphonate cannot prevent the formation of a fibrous capsule around an implant subjected to micromotion, but bisphosphonate is able to reduce resorption of peri-prosthetic bone.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening of total joint replacements are driven by byproducts of wear released from the implant. Wear particles cause macrophage-mediated inflammation that culminates with periprosthetic bone loss. Most current animal models of particle-induced osteolysis are based on the acute inflammatory reaction induced by wear debris, which is distinct from the slowly progressive clinical scenario. To address this limitation, we previously developed a murine model of periprosthetic osteolysis that is based on slow continuous delivery of wear particles into the murine distal femur over a period of 4 weeks. The particle delivery was accomplished by using subcutaneously implanted osmotic pumps and tubing, and a hollow titanium rod press-fit into the distal femur. In this study, we report a modification of our prior model in which particle delivery is extended to 8 weeks to better mimic the progressive development of periprosthetic osteolysis and allow the assessment of interventions in a setting where the chronic particle-induced osteolysis is already present at the initiation of the treatment. Compared to 4-week samples, extending the particle delivery to 8 weeks significantly exacerbated the local bone loss observed with μCT and the amount of both peri-implant F4/80+ macrophages and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts detected with immunohistochemical and histochemical staining. Furthermore, systemic recruitment of reporter macrophages to peri-implant tissues observed with bioluminescence imaging continued even at the later stages of particle-induced inflammation. This modified model system could provide new insights into the mechanisms of chronic inflammatory bone loss and be particularly useful in assessing the efficacy of treatments in a setting that resembles the clinical scenario of developing periprosthetic osteolysis more closely than currently existing model systems.

Abstract
Wear debris is believed to cause periprosthetic osteolysis and loosening of total joint arthroplasties. We investigated the wear debris-mediated osteolysis in wild-type mice and macrophage-deficient Csf1op/Csf1op (op/op) mice using high density polyethylene (HDP) particles transplanted on the parietal bone surface. Four weeks after surgery, phagocytosis of the HDP particles by F4/80-positive macrophages and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts was observed in the normal mice, but not in the macrophage-deficient op/op mice. These results suggest that macrophages are implicated in wear debris-dependent osteoclast formation. However, HDP particles were phagocytosed not only by macrophages but also by F4/80-negative cells in both genotypes of mice. Electron microscopic observation identified these cells as fibroblasts. Cell culture studies demonstrated that fibroblasts cultured with HDP-particles showed upregulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression compared with non-treated fibroblasts. When we examined the gene expression of osteoblasts that belong to the mesenchymal cell lineage as fibroblasts, we found that the expression of not only IL-6 but also interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ß), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and cyclooxygenase2 (Cox2) were up-regulated by HDP particle-stimulation. These findings suggest the possibility that fibroblasts and osteoblasts are involved in wear debris-mediated osteolysis within the tissue surrounding artificial joints through the production of bone resorbing factors IL-6, IL-1ß, TNF-α, and Cox2.

Abstract
Total joint replacement (TJR) has been widely used as a standard treatment for late-stage arthritis. One challenge for long-term efficacy of TJR is the generation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene wear particles from the implant surface that activates an inflammatory cascade which may lead to bone loss, prosthetic loosening and eventual failure of the procedure. Here, we investigate the efficacy of local administration of mutant CCL2 proteins, such as 7ND, on reducing wear particle-induced inflammation and osteolysis in vivo using a mouse calvarial model. Mice were treated with local injection of 7ND or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) every other day for up to 14 days. Wear particle-induced osteolysis and the effects of 7ND treatment were evaluated using micro-CT, histology, and immunofluorescence staining. Compared with the PBS control, 7ND treatment significantly decreased wear particle-induced osteolysis, which led to a higher bone volume fraction and bone mineral density. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining showed 7ND treatment decreased the number of recruited inflammatory cells and osteoclasts. Together, our results support the feasibility of local delivery of 7ND for mitigating wear particle-induced inflammation and osteolysis, which may offer a promising strategy for extending the life time of TJRs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvement of implant healing in orthopedic and trauma surgery serves to improve the life expectancy of the implant. Good primary stability by clamping is a prerequisite for secondary stability and for the actual integration and healing of the implant. RESULTS Possible causes of implant loosening are abrasive particles, which arrive at non-integrated implants at the unsealed prosthesis-bone interface and provoke a macrophage-mediated foreign body reaction, resulting in periprosthetic osteolysis. Numerous animal studies have already described the use of bisphosphonates to inhibit osteolysis induced by abrasion and secondary instability. In patients with total knee arthroplasty, a decrease in prosthetic migration under the influence of bisphosphonates could be shown. The stimulation of bone formation around the implants and the resulting implant healing was demonstrated both in animal experiments for bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) and in case reports for intermittent parathyroid hormone administration. CONCLUSION By using supportive drugs, it is possible to achieve an improvement in the osseointegration of implants; thus, more rapid secondary stability and load-bearing are expected.

Abstract
Joint arthroplasty had revolutionized the outcome of orthopaedic surgery. Extensive and collaborative work of many innovator surgeons had led to the development of durable bearing surfaces, yet no single material is considered absolutely perfect. Generation of wear debris from any part of the prosthesis is unavoidable. Implant loosening secondary to osteolysis is the most common mode of failure of arthroplasty. Osteolysis is the resultant of complex contribution of the generated wear debris and the mechanical instability of the prosthetic components. Roughly speaking, all orthopedic biomaterials may induce a universal biologic host response to generated wear débris with little specific characteristics for each material; but some debris has been shown to be more cytotoxic than others. Prosthetic wear debris induces an extensive biological cascade of adverse cellular responses, where macrophages are the main cellular type involved in this hostile inflammatory process. Macrophages cause osteolysis indirectly by releasing numerous chemotactic inflammatory mediators, and directly by resorbing bone with their membrane microstructures. The bio-reactivity of wear particles depends on two major elements: particle characteristics (size, concentration and composition) and host characteristics. While any particle type may enhance hostile cellular reaction, cytological examination demonstrated that more than 70% of the debris burden is constituted of polyethylene particles. Comprehensive understanding of the intricate process of osteolysis is of utmost importance for future development of therapeutic modalities that may delay or prevent the disease progression.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening as a result of wear debris is considered to be the main cause of long-term implant failure in orthopaedic surgery and improved biomaterials for bearing surfaces decreases significantly the release of micrometric wear particles. Increasingly, in-depth knowledge of osteoimmunology highlights the role of nanoparticles and ions released from some of these new bearing couples, opening up a new era in the comprehension of aseptic loosening. Mouse models have been essential in the progress made in the early comprehension of pathophysiology and in testing new therapeutic agents for particle-induced osteolysis. However, despite this encouraging progress, there is still no valid clinical alternative to revision surgery. The present review provides an update of the most commonly used bearing couples, the current concepts regarding particle–cell interactions and the approaches used to study the biology of periprosthetic osteolysis. It also discusses the contribution and future challenges of mouse models for successful translation of the preclinical progress into clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic osteolysis is the leading reason for THA revision. The relationship of serum biomarkers with severe radiographic periprosthetic osteolysis has not been defined but may be important to direct future research and clinical therapeutics. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined whether there was an association between measurable inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP]) or inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor α [TNF-α], IL-1β, IL-6, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand [RANKL], and osteoprotegerin [OPG]) and periprosthetic osteolysis. METHODS We identified 15 patients with THAs scheduled for revision surgery because of severe periprosthetic osteolysis. For each study patient, a nonosteolytic, pain-free control patient with THAs was identified and matched for age, sex, time since initial THA, acetabular and femoral component prosthesis material, and prosthesis wear within 1.0 mm/year using a manual wear analysis technique. Overall, the study and control patients had a mean wear rate of 0.25 mm/year since index THA. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between study and control patients in age, sex, BMI, Charlson Comorbidity Index, time since initial THA, UCLA activity score, and acetabular and femoral component type. Serum hsCRP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, RANKL, and OPG were measured by ELISA in duplicate assays. Differences in values were assessed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. RESULTS Median TNF-α levels were higher in study patients than in controls (7.1 pg/mL [SD, 11.6 pg/mL] versus 1.5 pg/mL [SD, 1.3 pg/mL]) (p < 0.01). Median IL-6 levels tended to be higher in study patients than in controls (8.9 pg/mL [SD, 13.2 pg/mL] versus 3.5 pg/mL [SD, 0.7 pg/mL]) (p = 0.09). The other serum inflammatory proteins and mediators of bone turnover were not different between groups. CONCLUSIONS TNF-α is elevated in patients with osteolysis compared to matched controls. The role of TNF-α and its potential as a target of nonsurgical therapy to prevent osteolysis warrant further investigation in larger, prospective studies.

Abstract
Total joint replacement is a highly successful surgical procedure for treatment of patients with disabling arthritis and joint dysfunction. However, over time, with high levels of activity and usage of the joint, implant wear particles are generated from the articulating surfaces. These wear particles can lead to activation of an inflammatory reaction, and subsequent bone resorption around the implant (periprosthetic osteolysis). Cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage orchestrate this chronic inflammatory response, which is dominated by a pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophage phenotype rather than an anti-inflammatory pro-tissue healing (M2) macrophage phenotype. While it has been shown that interleukin-4 (IL-4) selectively polarizes macrophages towards an M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype which promotes bone healing, rather than inflammation, little is known about the time course in which this occurs or conditions in which repolarization through IL-4 is most effective. The goal of this work was to study the time course of murine macrophage polarization and cytokine release in response to challenge with combinations of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particles, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IL-4 in vitro. Treatment of particle-challenged monocyte/macrophages with IL-4 led to an initial suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) production and subsequent polarization into an M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype. This result was optimized when IL-4 was delivered before PMMA particle challenge, to an M1 phenotype rather than to uncommitted (M0) macrophages. The effects of this polarization were sustained over a 5-day time course. Polarization of M1 macrophages into an M2 phenotype may be a strategy to mitigate wear particle associated periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Cementless fixation for the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains problematic. Peri-Apatite (PA), a solution-deposited hydroxyapatite, is under investigation as an option for improving the fixation of cementless tibial components. In this study, radiostereometric analysis was used to document implant migration in 48 dogs that underwent TKA with cementless, PA-coated, or cemented tibial components. Migration at 12 weeks was similar in the 2 groups. At 12 months, there was greater migration in the PA-coated group, but the difference between the 2 groups was below the threshold considered clinically significant. In this canine TKA model, cementless fixation with PA performed less well than did cemented fixation, but not to a degree that would make a clinical difference in the short term.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) exert potent effects on the skeleton. As such, there are important questions relating to how treatment with BPs for metabolic disorders might affect outcomes of orthopedic problems. A further question is what role, if any, might BPs play as adjunctive therapeutics for orthopedic problems. This article outlines the research thus far in the application of BPs to the management of osteonecrosis, bone repair, and joint arthroplasty. Many animal studies show a benefit to decreasing bone resorption in models of osteonecrosis. These include studies in both small and large animals, backed up by limited human data. Further clinical trials are underway for this indication. In bone repair, again, multiple studies exist. There are concerns that BPs could interfere with the normal processes of healing. Some of the controversy about benefits or adverse effects of BPs in this context can be distilled down to effects of dosing and administration. With some exceptions, longer intervals between dosing seem to be more beneficial while not producing adverse healing effects in animal studies. In joint arthroplasty, animal studies suggest a role for topical or systemic BPs for enhancing bone on-growth to implant surfaces and strength of mechanical fixation, although these are yet to be confirmed in clinical studies. Clinical studies show that BPs inhibit periprosthetic bone loss due to strain-adaptive remodeling and after impaction bone grafting, although an efficacy in inhibiting inflammatory bone loss due to wear particle-induced osteolysis has not been confirmed. Lastly, as anabolic drugs have become available, there is increasing interest in their combined use with BPs. From experimental data, manipulation of both the anabolic and catabolic responses is a powerful approach in models of bone repair.

Abstract
Particle debris resulting from in vivo degradation of total joint replacement components are recognised as the major factor limiting the longevity of joint reconstruction and the overall success of the procedure. Better understanding the complex cellular and tissue mechanisms and interactions resulting in wear-particle osteolysis requires a number of experimental approaches, including radiological monitoring and analysis of retrieved tissues from clinical cases, in vitro experiments, and also animal-model investigations. In consideration of both their advantages and drawbacks, this paper provides an historical overview of numerous animal models that have been developed over the last three decades to investigate the pathogenesis of wear-particle osteolysis and to facilitate the preclinical testing of new treatment options. The authors also focus on recent studies in order to provide a better understanding of the current state of the art on this subject and propose some perspectives regarding technical and fundamental questions.

Abstract
To determine whether alendronate alters the pseudomembrane inflammatory cytokine profile in patients with established aseptic osteolysis. A prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted. Ten individuals listed for revision surgery for aseptic failure of a primary cemented arthroplasty were randomly assigned placebo/alendronate 70 mg once weekly for 8 weeks before revision surgery. Formalin-preserved pseudomembrane samples were paraffin-sectioned for immunohistochemical analysis to assess inflammatory cytokine protein expression. Polymerase chain reaction was carried out to assess expression of relevant mRNA. No significant difference was detected in the inflammatory cytokine protein or mRNA expression between groups. Alendronate 70 mg administered for an 8-week period before surgery did not alter the pseudomembrane inflammatory cytokine profile in patients with established aseptic osteolysis. Any potential biological effects may occur due to downstream effects on osteoclast and osteoblast function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Micro-structural changes associated with ultra high molecular weight polyethylene particle (UHMWPE) induced osteolysis, the most frequent cause of aseptic loosening, have been intensively investigated in the mammalian calvarian model by histomorphometry and micro-computed tomography. However, little is known regarding the serological changes that occur during this process. METHODS Serological parameters for bone metabolism [calcium, phosphate, osteocalcin (OCN), deoxypyridinoline (DPD)/creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB] were analyzed in this animal model for particle induced osteolysis. Ten C57BL/6 mice were divided at random into sham operated and UHM-WPE implanted groups. Blood and urine samples were collected prior to and at 14 days after surgery. RESULTS Implantation of UHMWPE lead to a significant decrease in bone volume (p=0.027). Both groups (sham/UHMWPE) showed a significant increase in calcium (p=0.004/p=0.027) and phosphate (p=0.001/p=0.001), without correlation to particle implantation. Significantly higher concentrations of DPD/creatinine (p=0.034) and OCN (p=0.022) were found after implantation of UHM-WPE. In addition, parameters could not be correlated to particle induced osteolysis. CONCLUSIONS DPD can be regarded as a valuable parameter for detecting UHMWPE induced osteolysis in the calvarian model. Further studies of serum parameters should focus on the clinical relevance in aseptic prosthetic loosening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying particle-induced osteolysis, we focused on osteopontin (OPN), a cytokine and cell-attachment protein that is associated with macrophage chemoattractant and osteoclast activation. METHODS We compared OPN protein levels in human periprosthetic osteolysis tissues with those in osteoarthritis (OA) synovial tissues. To investigate the functions of OPN during particle-induced osteolysis in vivo, titanium particles were implanted onto the calvaria of OPN-deficient mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates. Mice were killed on day 10 and evaluated immunohistologically. The effects of OPN deficiency on the secretion of inflammatory cytokines were examined using cultured bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). BMMs from OPN-deficient and WT mice were cultured with titanium particles for 12 hours, and the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines in the conditioned media were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Expression of OPN protein was enhanced in human periprosthetic osteolysis tissues as compared with OA synovial tissues. In the particle-induced model of osteolysis of the calvaria, bone resorption was significantly suppressed by OPN deficiency via inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, whereas an inflammatory reaction was observed regardless of the genotype. Results of immunostaining indicated that OPN protein was highly expressed in the membrane and bone surface at the area of bone resorption in WT mice. When BMMs were exposed to titanium particles, the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-1beta, and IL-6, as well as chemotactic factors, such as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha, in the conditioned medium were significantly reduced by OPN deficiency. Whereas phagocytic activity of BMMs was not attenuated by OPN deficiency, phagocytosis-mediated NF-kappaB activation was impaired in OPN-deficient BMMs. These data indicated that OPN was implicated in the development of particle-induced osteolysis via the orchestration of pro-/antiinflammatory cytokines secreted from macrophages. CONCLUSION OPN plays critical roles in wear debris-induced osteolysis, suggesting that OPN is a candidate therapeutic target for periprosthetic osteolysis.

Abstract
Skeletal bone consists of hydroxyapatite (HA) [Ca(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2)] and collagen type I, both of which are osseoconductive. The goal of osseointegration of orthopedic and dental implants is the rapid achievement of a mechanically stable long-lasting fixation between bone and an implant surface. In this study, we evaluated the mechanical fixation and tissue distribution surrounding implants coated with three surfaces: plasma-sprayed HA coating, thinner coating of electrochemical-assisted deposition of HA, and an identical thin coating with a top layer of mineralized collagen. Uncoated plasma-sprayed titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) served as negative control. The electrochemical-assisted deposition was performed near physiological conditions. We used a canine experimental joint replacement model with four cylindrical implants (one of each treatment group) inserted in the humeri cancellous metaphyseal bone in a 1 mm gap. Observation time was 4 weeks. The mechanical fixation was quantified by push-out test to failure, and the peri-implant tissue formation by histomorphometric evaluation. HA coatings deposited by plasma spray technique or electrochemically, increased the mechanical fixation and bone ongrowth, but there was no statistical difference between the individual HA applications. Addition of collagen to the mineralized phase of the coating to create a more bone natural surface did not improve the osseoconductive effect of HA.

Abstract
Using an in vivo adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene transfer technique, this study evaluated the therapeutic effects of an osteoprotegerin (OPG) transgene against orthopaedic wear debris-induced osteolysis in a long-term murine model. A titanium pin was surgically implanted into proximal tibia of Balb/c mice to mimic a weight-bearing knee arthroplasty, followed by an intra-articular challenge with Ti particles to provoke periprosthetic inflammation and osteolysis. rAAV-hOPG or AAV-LacZ vectors were injected into the prosthetic joint at 3 weeks post-op. The tissues were harvested at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks after transduction for histological and molecular analyses. Successful transgene expression at the local site was confirmed by real-time PCR and ELISA. Inflammatory pseudo-membranes were ubiquitously present at the interface between the Ti implant and the surrounding bone in both LacZ and virus-free control groups, while soft tissue was only observed sporadically at the bone-implant interface in the OPG group. A significant reduction in TRAP+ osteoclast numbers was observed in the OPG treatment group. MicroCT assessment indicated a marked reversal in the loss of peri-implant bone mineral density (BMD) in the OPG-transduced group, when compared with the LacZ and virus-free controls. Further, OPG gene modification appeared to reduce local bone collagen loss by a mean of 40%. Real-time PCR examination confirmed that in vivo OPG gene transfer dramatically influenced the periprosthetic tissue gene expression profiles by diminishing the mRNA expression of TNF, IL-1, CPK and RANKL. There were no transgene-associated toxic effects apparent during the experiment, and the PCR detection of transgenes in remote organs such as lungs, kidneys, liver, and muscle of contralateral limb were consistently negative. Overall, rAAV-mediated OPG gene transfer effectively reversed Ti-particle-induced bone resorption in this experimental model. The therapeutic effects may be due to the blockage of local osteoclastogenesis and possibly the down-regulation of RANKL expression.

Abstract
Continued production of wear debris affects both initial osseointegration and subsequent bone remodeling of total joint replacements (TJRs). However, continuous delivery of clinically relevant particles using a viable, cost effective, quantitative animal model to simulate the scenario in humans has been a challenge for orthopedic researchers. In this study, we successfully infused blue-dyed polystyrene particles, similar in size to wear debris in humans, to the intramedullary space of the mouse femur for 4 weeks using an osmotic pump. Approximately 40% of the original particle load (85 microL) was delivered into the intramedullary space, an estimate of 3 x 10(9) particles. The visible blue dye carried by the particles confirmed the delivery. This model demonstrated that continuous infusion of particles to the murine bone-implant interface is possible. In vivo biological processes associated using wear debris particles can be studied using this new animal model.

Abstract
It has been shown that fixation of primary cementless joint replacement can independently be enhanced by either: (1) use of hydroxyapatite (HA) coated implants, (2) compaction of the peri-implant bone, or (3) local application of bisphosphonate. We investigated whether the combined effect of HA coating and bone compaction can be further enhanced with the use of local bisphosphonate treatment. HA-coated implants were bilaterally inserted into the proximal tibiae of 10 dogs. On one side local bisphosphonate was applied prior to bone compaction. Saline was used as control on the contralateral side. Implants were evaluated with histomorphometry and biomechanical push-out test. We found that bisphosphonate increased the peri-implant bone volume fraction (1.3-fold), maximum shear strength (2.1-fold), and maximum shear stiffness (2.7-fold). No significant difference was found in bone-to-implant contact or total energy absorption. This study indicates that local alendronate treatment can further improve the fixation of porous-coated implants that have also undergone HA-surface coating and peri-implant bone compaction.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture resulting in bone fragility, which impairs fixation of the implants. Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a potential inhibitor of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a growth factor that stimulates osteoblast-mediated bone formation, and these drugs could enhance fixation of implants under osteoporotic conditions. In this study, 40 ovariectomized (OVX) rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 for each group) and underwent bilateral tibiae implantation using hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium implant: Control group (distilled water immersing before implantation), ZOL group (1 mg/ml of ZOL immersing), bFGF group (20 microg/ml of bFGF immersing), and ZOL+bFGF group (1 mg/ml of ZOL and 20 microg/ml of bFGF immersing). At 3 months after implantation, all animal were sacrificed and the tibiae were harvested for histology, micro-CT examinations and biomechanical testing. Bone area and contact, determined by histomorphometric analysis, were 2.7-fold and 1.8-fold in the ZOL-treated implants, 1.9-fold and 1.8-fold in the bFGF-treated implants, 3.6-fold and 2.3-fold in the both-treated implants compared with controls (p<0.01). Such significant effects were further confirmed by microstructure parameters, the bone volume ratio and the percentage osteointegration were significantly increased by ZOL treatment (3.0-fold and 1.8-fold), bFGF treatment (1.2-fold and 1.9-fold) and ZOL+bFGF treatment (3.3-fold and 2.7-fold) (p<0.001). In addition, push-out test showed that the maximum force and the corresponding interfacial shear strength of the implants treated by ZOL, bFGF and ZOL+bFGF was 8.4-fold and 8.6-fold, 3.8-fold and 3.7-fold, 10.8-fold and 10.7-fold of the control levels, respectively (p<0.05). The combined treatment was better than either treatment alone for force, but was not different from ZOL alone for interfacial strength. The significant correlation between biomechanical and micro-CT parameters demonstrates the role of microstructure assessments in predicting mechanical fixation of implants (p<0.01). Our study suggests that locally applied ZOL or bFGF may improve implant fixation in the ovariectomized rats, and that combined treatment has more beneficial effects on osseointegration, peri-implant bone formation and maximum force than either intervention alone.

Abstract
In vitro models are important investigative tools in understanding the biological processes involved in wear-particle-induced chronic inflammation and periprosthetic osteolysis. In the clinical scenario, particles are produced and delivered continuously over extended periods of time. Previously, we quantified the delivery of both polystyrene and polyethylene particles over 2- and 4-week time periods using osmotic pumps and collection tubes. In the present study, we used explanted mice femora in organ culture and showed that continuous intramedullary delivery of submicron-sized polymer particles using osmotic pumps is feasible. Furthermore, infusion of 2.60 x 10(11) particles per mL (intermediate concentration) of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for 2 weeks and 8.06 x 10(11) particles per mL (high concentration) UHMWPE for 4 weeks both yielded significantly higher scores for bone loss when compared with controls in which only mouse serum was infused.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of total joint replacements is caused by wear debris-induced osteoclastic bone resorption, for which bisphosphonates (BPs) and RANK antagonists have been developed. Although BPs are effective in preventing metabolic bone loss, they are less effective for inflammatory bone loss. Because this difference has been attributed to the antiapoptotic inflammatory signals that protect osteoclasts from BP-induced apoptosis, but not RANK antagonists, we tested the hypothesis that osteoprotegerin (OPG) is more effective in preventing wear debris-induced osteolysis than zoledronic acid (ZA) or alendronate (Aln) in the murine calvaria model using in vivo micro-CT and traditional histology. Although micro-CT proved to be incompatible with titanium (Ti) particles, we were able to demonstrate a 3.2-fold increase in osteolytic volume over 10 days induced by polyethylene (PE) particles versus sham controls (0.49 +/- 0.23 mm(3) versus 0.15 +/- 0.067 mm(3); p < 0.01). Although OPG and high-dose ZA completely inhibited this PE-induced osteolysis (p < 0.001), pharmacological doses of ZA and Aln were less effective but still reached statistical significance (p < 0.05). Traditional histomorphometry of the sagital suture area of calvaria from both Ti and PE-treated mice confirmed the remarkable suppression of resorption by OPG (p < 0.001) versus the lack of effect by physiological BPs. The differences in drug effects on osteolysis were largely explained by the significant difference in osteoclast numbers observed between OPG versus BPs in both Ti- and PE-treated calvaria; and linear regression analyses that demonstrated a highly significant correlation between osteolysis volume and sagittal suture area versus osteoclast numbers (p < 0.001).

Abstract
Tissue engineering approaches to regenerate bone stock in revision total hip replacements could enhance the longevity of the implant and benefit the quality of the patient's life. This study investigated the impaction of allograft with mesenchymal stem cells in an ovine hip hemiarthroplasty model. In total, 10 sheep were divided into two groups with 5 sheep in each group. The groups were: 1) mesenchymal stem cells mixed with allograft; 2) allograft only as a control. Ground reaction force was assessed for limb function and showed that there was no significant difference in the recovery for animals in different groups. The amount of bone regenerated around the hip replacement was assessed using un-decalcified histology. The results showed that the stem cell group generated significantly more new bone at the implant-allograft interface and within the graft than the control group. The results from this study indicate that the use of stem cells on an allograft scaffold increases bone formation indicating that the use of stem cells for revision hip arthroplasty may be beneficial for patients undergoing revision surgery where the bone stock is compromised.

Abstract
The inhibitor of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is of interest in the nonoperative treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis due to wear particles. Previous studies demonstrated that an oral p38 MAPK inhibitor did not suppress bone formation when given during the initial phase of tissue differentiation. However, the oral p38 MAPK inhibitor also did not curtail the foreign body and chronic inflammatory response to particles when given simultaneously. The purpose of the current study was to examine the efficacy of a p38 MAPK inhibitor, SCIO-323, on mitigating an established inflammatory reaction that parallels the clinical situation more closely. The Bone Harvest Chamber was implanted in rabbits and submicron polyethylene particles were placed in the chamber for 6 weeks. The contents of the chambers were harvested every 6 weeks. Oral treatment with the SCIO-323 included delivery for 3 weeks and stopping for 3 weeks, delivery for 3 weeks after an initial 3-week delay, and delivery for 6 weeks continuously. Administration of the SCIO-323 continuously for 6 weeks with/without the presence of particles, or for the initial 3 of 6 weeks had minor effects on bone ingrowth. After establishing a particle-induced chronic inflammatory reaction for 3 weeks, administration of SCIO-323 for a subsequent 3 weeks suppressed net bone formation. The activity of osteoclast-like cells remained low among all treatments when compared with the first control. Using the present model, the oral p38 MAPK inhibitor was ineffective in improving bone ingrowth in the presence of polyethylene particles.

Abstract
Wear particles produced from total joint replacements have been shown to stimulate a foreign body and chronic inflammatory reaction that results in periprosthetic osteolysis. Most animal models that simulate these events have used a single injection of particles, which is not representative of the clinical scenario, in which particles are continuously generated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an osmotic pump for the continuous delivery of clinically relevant submicron-sized particles over an extended period of time. Blue-dyed polystyrene particles and retrieved ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) particles, both suspended in mouse serum, were loaded into an Alzet mini-osmotic pump. Pumps were attached to vinyl tubing that ended with hollow titanium rods, simulating a metal implant, which was suspended in a collection vessel. The number of particles collected was evaluated over 2- and 4-week time periods. Delivery of both the polystyrene and UHMWPE particles was feasible over pump concentrations of 10(9) to 10(11) particles per pump. Furthermore, delivery efficiency of polystyrene particles decreased with increasing initial particle concentration, whereas delivery efficiency of UHMWPE particles increased slightly with increasing initial particle concentration. For UHMWPE, approximately one-third of the particles in the pump were collected at 4 weeks. This in vitro study has quantified the efficiency of a unique particle pumping system that may be used in future in vivo investigations to develop a murine model of continuous particle infusion.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of total joint replacements is believed to be initiated by a macrophage response to prosthetic wear debris. To better characterize the early response to clinically relevant wear debris, we challenged primary human macrophages from four donors with ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), TiAlV, CoCr, and alumina particles. After a 24-h culture, protein arrays were used to quantify the secretion of 30 different cytokines and chemokines. Macrophages secreted detectable levels of nine mediators in culture: Interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1beta, MCP-1, IL-8, IL-6, GM-CSF, IL-10, and IL-12p40. TiAlV particles were the most stimulatory, causing 5- to 900-fold higher cytokine expression compared with nonstimulated cells and uniquely eliciting high levels of IL-1alpha, IL-6, IL-10, and GM-CSF. CoCr and alumina were mildly stimulatory and typically elicited two- to fivefold greater levels than nonstimulated cells. Surprisingly, UHMWPE did not elicit a significant increase in cytokine release. Our data suggests that IL-1alpha, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and MCP-1 are the primary initiators of osteolysis and implicates metallic debris as an important trigger for their release.

Abstract
Understanding the complex cellular and tissue mechanisms and interactions resulting in periprosthetic osteolysis requires a number of experimental approaches, each of which has its own set of advantages and limitations. In vitro models allow for the isolation of individual cell populations and have furthered our understanding of particle-cell interactions; however, they are limited because they do not mimic the complex tissue environment in which multiple cell interactions occur. In vivo animal models investigate the tissue interactions associated with periprosthetic osteolysis, but the choice of species and whether the implant system is subjected to mechanical load or to unloaded conditions are critical in assessing whether these models can be extrapolated to the clinical condition. Rigid analysis of retrieved tissue from clinical cases of osteolysis offers a different approach to studying the biologic process of osteolysis, but it is limited in that the tissue analyzed represents the end-stage of this process and, thus, may not reflect this process adequately.

Abstract
Interactions between periprosthetic cells and prosthetic wear debris have been recognized as an important event in the development of osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Although the ability of wear debris to activate pro-inflammatory macrophage signaling has been documented, the full repertoire of macrophage responses to wear particles has not been established. Here, we examined the involvement of alternative macrophage activation and defective osteogenic signaling in osteolysis. Using real-time RT-PCR analysis of periprosthetic soft tissue from osteolysis patients, we detected elevated levels of expression of alternative macrophage activation markers (CHIT1, CCL18), chemokines (IL8, MIP1 alpha) and markers of osteoclast precursor cell differentiation and multinucleation (Cathepsin K, TRAP, DC-STAMP) relative to osteoarthritis controls. The presence of cathepsin K positive multinuclear cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Reduced expression levels of the osteogenic signaling components BMP4 and FGF18 were detected. Expression levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and RANKL were unchanged, while the anti-osteoclastogenic cytokine OPG was reduced in osteolysis patients, resulting in elevated RANKL:OPG ratios. In vitro studies confirmed the role of particulate debris in alternative macrophage activation and inhibition of osteogenic signaling. Taken together, these results suggest involvement in osteolysis of alternative macrophage activation, accompanied by elevated levels of various chemokines. Increased recruitment and maturation of osteoclast precursors is also observed, as is reduced osteogenesis. These findings provide new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of osteolysis, and identify new potential candidate markers for disease progression and therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are promising in the treatment of periprosthetic osteolysis induced by particulate wear debris. The in vivo effects of pamidronate with different doses and durations of administration on bone-titanium attachment in the presence of endotoxin-coated polyethylene particles were examined in a rat model in this study. Titanium pins and endotoxin-coated polyethylene particles were introduced into rat femoral canals followed by intraperitoneal injection of pamidronate every other day. The treatment varied in the dose from 0 to 40 microg/kg and the duration of either 10 days or 6 weeks. Bilateral femurs were harvested after 6 weeks and examined by bone densitometer and MicroCT scan. Pamidronate increased the bone density of the left, unoperated femurs in a dose and duration dependent manner. Bone-titanium attachment significantly increased in all treatment groups compared to the control group. When pamidronate was administered for 10 days, the increase of bone-titanium attachment was significantly dose-dependent. However, when pamidronate was given for 6 weeks at 4 microg/kg, the bone-titanium attachment was significantly (p < 0.001) lower compared to the 10 day treatment of the same dose, although it was significantly higher than controls. Our results suggest that pamidronate effectively increase bone-titanium attachment even in the presence of endotoxin-coated polyethylene particles. However, long-term administration may reduce its efficacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonates have been proposed to delay or prevent loosening of joint replacement implants by reducing bone resorption. It is known, however, that implant motion prevents the bone anchorage necessary to maintain secure implant fixation. METHODS We used our experimental implant model with controlled motion to evaluate the relative effects of implant motion and bisphosphonate. We implemented our established 8-week experimental revision protocol to obtain a bony and soft tissue setting of revision joint replacement in 16 dogs. At 8 weeks, we had stabilized half of the implants. The other half of the implants continued pistoning. Half of the dogs were exposed to alendronate (oral). RESULTS Stabilization of the revision implant was more effective at improving fixation (higher shear strength) than administering alendronate. As expected, the fibrous membrane remained under unstable conditions, even with alendronate. With alendronate and stabilized implants, increased bone was observed near the sclerotic shell of the revision cavity, but it was reduced with alendronate when the implant was unstable. INTERPRETATION Our findings suggest that it may be difficult for alendronate administration alone to rescue implants that are already loose. In implants that have not progressed to loosening, alendronate may increase bone density at the border with the sclerotic shell, but the effect of this bone in delaying eventual loosening is not known.

Abstract
Small-animal models are useful for the in vivo study of particle-induced osteolysis, the most frequent cause of aseptic loosening after total joint replacement. Microstructural changes associated with particle-induced osteolysis have been extensively explored using two-dimensional (2D) techniques. However, relatively little is known regarding the 3D dynamic microstructure of particle-induced osteolysis. Therefore, we tested micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) as a novel tool for 3D analysis of wear debris-mediated osteolysis in a small-animal model of particle-induced osteolysis. The murine calvarial model based on polyethylene particles was utilized in 14 C57BL/J6 mice randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 received sham surgery, and group 2 was treated with polyethylene particles. We performed 3D micro-CT analysis and histological assessment. Various bone morphometric parameters were assessed. Regression was used to examine the relation between the results achieved by the two methods. Micro-CT analysis provides a fully automated means to quantify bone destruction in a mouse model of particle-induced osteolysis. This method revealed that the osteolytic lesions in calvaria in the experimental group were affected irregularly compared to the rather even distribution of osteolysis in the control group. This is an observation which would have been missed if histomorphometric analysis only had been performed, leading to false assessment of the actual situation. These irregularities seen by micro-CT analysis provide new insight into individual bone changes which might otherwise be overlooked by histological analysis and can be used as baseline information on which future studies can be designed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most common failure of total joint replacement is aseptic loosening in association with osteolysis. Previous reports have shown that prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) secreted from macrophages that phagocytosed wear debris induced periprosthetic osteolysis. Many clinical studies have reported that bisphosphonate therapy reduced periprosthetic bone loss and loosening of the implants after total joint replacements. Bisphosphonates are synthetic compounds with the ability to decrease bone resorption. In addition, some bisphosphonates have been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the mechanism of bisphosphonates that reduces periprosthetic bone resorption remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate one of the mechanisms by which etidronate (EHDP) inhibits periprosthetic bone resorption. METHODS Macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells were treated with EHDP at concentrations of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 microM together with the titanium particles at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. After a 24-h culture period, total mRNA was isolated and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was done to examine the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The supernatants were also collected and production of PGE(2), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Analyses showed that COX-2 expression and PGE(2) production were suppressed by EHDP in a dose-dependent manner. By 100 microM of EHDP, PGE(2) production of the cells was suppressed approximately to the level of the nonstimulated cells. Production of IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha in the supernatant was also suppressed by EHDP. CONCLUSIONS The blockage effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines is a possible etidronate mechanism that reduces bone resorption around implants.

Abstract
We matched 78 patients with a loose cemented Charnley Elite Plus total hip replacement (THR) by age, gender, race, prosthesis and time from surgery with 49 patients with a well-fixed stable hip replacement, to determine if poor bone quality predisposes to loosening. Clinical, radiological, biomechanical and bone mineral density indicators of bone quality were assessed. Patients with loose replacements had more pain, were more likely to have presented with atrophic arthritis and to have a history of fragility fracture, narrower femoral cortices and lower peri-prosthetic or lumbar spine bone mineral density (all t-test, p < 0.01). They also tended to be smokers (chi-squared test, p = 0.08). Vitamin-D deficiency was common, but not significantly different between the two groups (t-test, p = 0.31) In this series of cemented hip replacements performed between 1994 and 1998, aseptic loosening was associated with poor bone quality. Patients with a THR should be screened for osteoporosis and have regular radiological surveillance.

Abstract
The effects of an oral p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor and polyethylene particles separately and together on tissue differentiation in the bone harvest chamber (BHC) in rabbits over a 3-week treatment period were investigated. The harvested tissue was analyzed histomorphometrically for markers of bone formation (percentage of bone area), osteoblasts (alkaline phosphatase staining), and osteoclasts (CD51, the alpha chain of the vitronectin receptor). Polyethylene particles decreased the percentage of bone ingrowth and staining for alkaline phosphatase. The p38 MAPK inhibitor alone decreased alkaline phosphatase staining. When the oral p38 MAPK inhibitor was given and the chamber contained polyethylene particles, there was a suppression of bone ingrowth and alkaline phosphatase staining. In contrast to oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and local Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) administration, the oral p38 MAPK inhibitor alone did not suppress bone formation when given during the initial phase of tissue differentiation. Particle-induced inflammation and the foreign body reaction were not curtailed when the p38 MAPK inhibitor was given simultaneously with particles. Additional experiments are needed to establish the efficacy of p38 MAPK inhibitor administration on mitigating an established inflammatory and foreign body reaction that parallels the clinical situation more closely.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most commonly performed and successful elective orthopaedic procedures. However, numerous failure mechanisms limit the long-term success including aseptic osteolysis, aseptic loosening, infection, and implant instability. Aseptic osteolysis and subsequent implant failure occur because of a chronic inflammatory response to implant-derived wear particles. To reduce particulate debris and their consequences, implants have had numerous design modifications including high-molecular-weight polyethylene sockets and noncemented implants that rely on bone ingrowth for fixation. Surgical techniques have improved cementation with the use of medullary plugs, cement guns, lavage of the canal, pressurization, centralization of the stem, and reduction in cement porosity. Despite these advances, aseptic osteolysis continues to limit implant longevity. Numerous proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and prostaglandin E2, have proosteoclastogenic effects in response to implant-derived wear particles. However, none of these cytokines represents a final common pathway for the process of particle-induced osteoclast differentiation and maturation. Recent work has identified the fundamental role of the RANKL-RANK-NF-kappaB pathway not only in osteoclastogenesis but also in the development and function the immune system. Thus, the immune system and skeletal homeostasis may be linked in the process of osteoclastogenesis and osteolysis.

Abstract
Bone resorption associated with local trauma occurring during insertion of joint prostheses is recognized as an early event. Being an osteoclastic inhibitor, alendronate is a potential candidate means to decrease early periprosthetic bone resorption and thereby improve implant fixation. We investigated the influence of oral alendronate treatment on early implant fixation in two implant interface settings representing sites of an implant that are in contact with surrounding bone, and other sites without intimate bone contact. One plasma-sprayed cylindrical titanium implant (6 mm diameter) was inserted into each proximal tibia of 16 dogs. On one side the implant was inserted press-fit whereas on the contralateral side, the implants were surrounded by a 2 mm concentric gap. Oral alendronate (0.5 mg/kg/day) was given 2 weeks following surgery to eight dogs. The dogs were euthanized after 10 weeks of alendronate treatment. Bone ongrowth (bone in contact with implant surface) was estimated using the linear intercept technique and shear strength was calculated as the slope on a load-displacement curve. For the press fit implants, alendronate treatment significantly increased bone ongrowth from 24% to 29% and significantly increased ultimate shear strength from 1.26 to 3.72 MPa. Also, the fraction of periprosthetic bone significantly increased from 10% to 18%. For implants surrounded by a gap, alendronate neither stimulated nor impaired implant fixation, bone ingrowth, or new bone formation in the gaps. Because early implant stability is an important predictor of longevity, systemic alendronate treatment could be an important clinical tool to positively influence the early stages of implant incorporation.

Abstract
There is a potential for the use of pharmacological agents to enhance the quality of bone around a total hip or knee prosthesis, reducing the risk of implant failure or periprosthetic fracture. Bisphosphonates are currently used for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis and recent investigations also suggest a potential role for the management of postoperative periprosthetic bone loss. Current evidence suggests that the short-term gains may not be sustained in the long term. Teriparatide and parathyroid hormone 1-84 have been licensed to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis and may also be investigated for the potential to enhance periprosthetic bone mass. In addition, other agents such as calcitonin and strontium ranelate, non-anabolic agents such as doxycycline, and recombinant OPG adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy, may in the future provide solutions for enhancing periprosthetic bone mass.

Abstract
We examined a novel mouse model of wear debris-induced prosthesis instability and osteolysis, and its application for the evaluation of therapy. A stainless steel or titanium-alloy pin was implanted into the proximal tibia to form a contiguous surface with the articular cartilage. In some mice, titanium particles were injected into the tibial canal during the surgery, followed by monthly intraarticular injection. MicroCT scans revealed that the implants without particle challenge were stable without bone mineral density changes for 6 months. Histological analysis showed new bone formation around the implant at 6 weeks postsurgery. Periprosthetic soft tissue with inflammatory cells was a ubiquitous finding at the interface between the implant and surrounding bone in samples exposed to titanium particles, and expression of IL-1beta, TNFalpha, and CD68 was common in these joints. Pullout tests indicated that an average 5N load was required to pull out stable implants from surrounding bone. However, particle stimulation dramatically reduced the pullout force to less than 0.4 N. The feasibility of in vivo gene transfer on this model was confirmed by X-gal staining of synovial membrane and periprosthetic tissue after injection of AAV-LacZ in the prosthetic joint. This murine model of weight-bearing knee prosthesis provides an economical, reproducible, and easily obtained means to study joint arthroplasty failure. The ability to evaluate the biomechanical properties of the prosthetic joint, in addition to histological and biochemical examination, results in a useful model to investigate many of the properties of prosthetic joint components during the response to debris-associated osteolysis.
