Abstract
Changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics are believed to take place during osteoclastogenesis. This study aims to assess changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels during polyethylene (PE)-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro. For this purpose, RAW264.7 cells were cultured for nine days and allowed to differentiate into osteoclasts in the presence of PE and RANKL. The total TRAP-positive cells, resorption activity, expression of osteoclast marker genes, ROS level, mitochondrial bioenergetics, glycolysis, and substrate utilization were measured. The effect of tocotrienols-rich fraction (TRF) treatment (50 ng/mL) on those parameters during PE-induced osteoclastogenesis was also studied. During PE-induced osteoclastogenesis, as depicted by an increase in TRAP-positive cells and gene expression of osteoclast-related markers, higher proton leak, higher extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), as well as higher levels of ROS and NADPH oxidases (NOXs) were observed in the differentiated cells. The oxidation level of some substrates in the differentiated group was higher than in other groups. TRF treatment significantly reduced the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts, bone resorption activity, and ROS levels, as well as modulating the gene expression of antioxidant-related genes and mitochondrial function. In conclusion, changes in mitochondrial bioenergetics and substrate utilization were observed during PE-induced osteoclastogenesis, while TRF treatment modulated these changes.

A review of UHMWPE wear-induced osteolysis: the role for early detection of the immune response. Bone Res 2016; 4:16014. [PMID: 27468360 PMCID: PMC4941197 DOI: 10.1038/boneres.2016.14] [Citation(s) in RCA: 91] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2015] [Revised: 05/08/2016] [Accepted: 05/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
In a world where increasing joint arthroplasties are being performed on increasingly younger patients, osteolysis as the leading cause of failure after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has gained considerable attention. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene wear-induced osteolysis is the process by which prosthetic debris mechanically released from the surface of prosthetic joints induces an immune response that favors bone catabolism, resulting in loosening of prostheses with eventual failure or fracture. The immune response initiated is innate in that it is nonspecific and self-propagating, with monocytic cells and osteoclasts being the main effectors. To date, detecting disease early enough to implement effective intervention without unwanted systemic side effects has been a major barrier. These barriers can be overcome using newer in vivo imaging techniques and modules linked with fluorescence and/or chemotherapies. We discuss the pathogenesis of osteolysis, and provide discussion of the challenges with imaging and therapeutics. We describe a positron emission tomography imaging cinnamoyl-Phe-(D)-Leu-Phe-(D)-Leu-Phe-Lys module, specific to macrophages, which holds promise in early detection of disease and localization of treatment. Further research and increased collaboration among therapeutic and three-dimensional imaging researchers are essential in realizing a solution to clinical osteolysis in TJA.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis remains a major limitation of long-term successful total hip replacements with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearings. As intra and extracellular reactive oxygen species are know to contribute to wear debris-induced osteoclastic bone resorption and decreased osteoblastic bone formation, antioxidant doped UHMWPE has emerged as an approach to reduce the osteolytic potential of wear debris and maintain coupled bone remodeling. To test this hypothesis in vivo, we evaluated the effects of crosslinked UHMWPE wear debris particles (AltrX(™) ), versus similar wear particles made from COVERNOX(™) containing UHMWPE (AOX(™) ), in an established murine calvaria model. Eight-week-old female C57B/6 mice (n = 10/Group) received a pre-op micro-CT scan prior to surgical implantation of the UHMWPE particles (2mg), or surgery without particles (sham). Dynamic labeling was performed by intraperitoneal injection of calcein on day 7 and alizarin on day 9, and the calvaria were harvested for micro-CT and histology on day 10. Surprisingly, we found that AOX particles induced significantly more bone resorption (1.72-fold) and osteoclast numbers (1.99-fold) vs. AltrX (p < 0.001). However, AOX also significantly induced 1.64-fold more new bone formation vs. AltrX (p < 0.01). Moreover, while the osteolytic:osteogenic ratio of both particles was very close to 1.0, which is indicative of coupled remodeling, AOX was more osteogenic (Slope = 1.13 ± 0.10 vs. 0.97 ± 0.10). Histomorphometry of the metabolically labeled undecalcified calvaria revealed a consistent trend of greater MAR in AOX vs. AltrX. Collectively, these results demonstrate that anti-oxidant impregnated UHMWPE particles have decreased osteolytic potential due to their increased osteogenic properties that support coupled bone remodeling. © 2015 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Denosumab for treating periprosthetic osteolysis; study protocol for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2016; 17:174. [PMID: 27108405 PMCID: PMC4841945 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-016-1036-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2016] [Accepted: 04/15/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Wear-induced osteolysis is the main factor in reducing the longevity of total hip arthroplasty (THA). The transmembrane Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor κ B (RANK) and its corresponding ligand RANKL is an important regulator of osteoclast activity and bone resorption and is associated with osteolysis around implant. Inhibiting RANKL with denosumab is effective in vivo in preventing osteoporosis-related fractures. In vitro, osteoclasts can be blocked in animal models of osteolysis. We hypothesize that denosumab is effective in reducing wear-induced osteolysis around uncemented acetabular implants in THA. Methods/design A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will be conducted. We will include 110 patients, 40–85 years of age, with a known osteolytic lesion around an uncemented acetabular component ≥7 years after the primary operation. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to subcutaneous injections of 60 mg denosumab or placebo for a total of 6 doses with start on day one and every 6 months with last treatment at 30 months. The primary endpoint will be the change in volume of the osteolytic lesion at 3 years measured with three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). Secondary endpoints include functional outcome scores, change in bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, serological markers of bone turnover and adverse events. Discussion In vitro results of both bisphosphonates and RANKL inhibitors have been promising, showing reduced osteolysis with treatment. This is, to our knowledge, the first clinical trial testing the efficacy of denosumab in reducing wear-induced osteolysis. The study is an academic, phase II trial from an independent center and is designed to demonstrate efficacy in reducing volume of osteolytic lesions around a total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Purpose This study was performed to determine the usefulness of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) in measuring periacetabular osteolysis by comparing the real volume of osteolysis in revision surgery. Materials and Methods Twnety-three patients who had undergone revision surgery due to periacetabular osteolysis but not included septic osteolysis and implant loosening. The mean age of patients at the time of surgery was 55.2 years. And the mean time interval between the primary total hip arthroplasty and revision surgery was 13.3 years. We measured the polyethylene wear in plain radiographs using computer assisted vector wear analysis program, the volume of acetabular osteolytic lesions in high-resolution spiral CT scans using Rapidia 3D software version 2.8 algorithms before the revision surgery were performed. Intraoperative real osteolytic volume was calculated as the sum of the volumetric increments of the acetabular cup and impacted allo-cancellous bone volume. Results Strong correlation was found between the volume of acetabular osteolytic lesions measured on 3D-CT and intraoperative real osteolytic volume which was calculated as the sum of the volumetric increments of the acetabular cup and impacted allo-cancellous bone volume. Conclusion 3D-CT is considered a useful method for assessing and measuring the volume of periacetabular osteolysis before revision surgery.

Abstract
Overwhelming evidence supports the concept that wear particles are the primary initiator of aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants. It is likely, however, that other factors modulate the biologic response to wear particles. This review focuses on three potential other factors: genetic susceptibility, Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). WHERE ARE WE NOW?: Considerable evidence is emerging that both genetic susceptibility and TLR activation are important factors that modulate the biologic response to wear particles, but it remains controversial whether bacterial PAMPs also do so. WHERE DO WE NEED TO GO?: Detailed understanding of the roles of these other factors may lead to identification of novel therapeutic targets for patients with aseptic loosening. HOW DO WE GET THERE?: Highest priority should be given to polymorphism replication studies with large numbers of patients and studies to replicate the reported correlation between bacterial biofilms and the severity of aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Polyethylene wear-induced osteolysis constitutes the most severe long-term complication of total hip arthroplasties (THA). Our aim was to assess through MRI the severity and growth pattern of osteolysis, as well as the influence clinical-radiographic variables exert. We analyzed 75 THA with an average evolution time of 13.67years. The implant was a titanium alloy, non-cemented, multiple-hole model with hydroxyapatite coating. Osteolysis was found with a peripheral pattern in 48 and a central pattern in 6; in 52 cases it was continuous, and in 4, isolated. Out of 118 screws, 20 exhibited lysis. There was a proportional correlation between osteolysis severity and wear rate with age, physical activity and acetabular abduction, as well as an association between said variables and peripheral and continuous patterns.

Abstract
This study investigated the variability of os coxae's volume and linear morphometry in 50 dry adult bones. There was a wide variability, with coefficients of variation exceeding 30%, of the bones' volumes (mean 142 ml, range 80 to 300 ml) and distances between the acetabular rim and the horizontal plane through the sciatic notch (mean 10.6 mm, range -7 to 19 mm). The smallest width of the ilium ranged between 3 and 9 mm at a level between 1.5 and 4 cm above the acetabulum. The volume of os coxae correlated with the acetabular diameter (r = 0.79), the height of os coxae (r = 0.88) and antero-posterior length of the ilium at mid-acetabular level (r = 0.70). Knowledge of the variability of os coxae may be useful during preoperative planning in primary and revision hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
The aims of this were to examine the effect of acetabular liner exchange and intra-operative bone grafting surgery on peri-prosthetic osteolysis. Seven patients with well-fixed Harris-Galante-1 acetabular components received cemented exchange liners for worn liners associated with pre-operatively CT-quantified osteolysis. During surgery, accessible osteolytic lesions were debrided and bone-grafted. Except for one patient with recurrent dislocation and acetabular component revision, the other patients had CT scans at a median of 4 months and at approximately 4 years after surgery. None of the pre-operative lesions increased in volume during the post-operative reporting period and no new lesions were detected. These results show that cemented liner exchange surgery can halt the progression of osteolysis and that bone grafting has the potential to restore bone.

Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 63 primary total hip arthroplasty cases was done using repeated computed tomography scans to evaluate the pelvic osteolytic lesions in early stage. The progression rate of osteolysis of hips with small osteolytic volume less than 766.97 mm(3) in initial CT was 85.82 mm(3)/year, and that of hips with osteolysis more than 766.97 mm(3) was 456.3 mm(3)/year (P < 0.001). Younger patients less than 52 years old with good Harris Hip Scores (more than 80) frequently showed much faster progression in volume of osteolytic lesions. The rate of osteolysis was accelerated when the amount of osteolysis reached a certain threshold volume in active young patients in a cascade manner even in early stage.

Abstract
Wear debris-induced osteolysis remains the greatest limitation of long-term success for total joint replacements with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearings. To address oxidative degradation post-gamma irradiation, manufacturers are investigating the incorporation of antioxidants into PE resins. Similarly, larger molecular weight monomers have been developed to increase crosslinking and decrease wear debris, and ultimately osteolysis. However, the effects of modifying monomer size, crosslink density, and antioxidant incorporation on UHMWPE particle-induced osteoclastic bone resorption and coupled osteoblastic bone formation have never been tested. Here, we review the field of antioxidant-containing UHMWPE, and present an illustrative pilot study evaluating the osteolytic and osteogenic potential of wear debris generated from three chemically distinct particles (MARATHON®, XLK, and AOX™) as determined by a novel 3D micro-CT algorithm designed for the murine calvaria model. The results demonstrate an approach by which the potential osteoprotective effects of antioxidants in UHMWPE can be evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical revision after failed total hip replacement is a technically challenging procedure. The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term results of revision total hip replacement using a cemented long femoral component and identify factors that influence the results. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 34 hips in 33 patients who had undergone revision total hip replacement using a cemented long femoral component between 1994 and 2001. Hip function was evaluated according to the scoring system of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association. Radiographic examination was performed for evaluation of stem loosening, and its possible risk factors were investigated. RESULTS The mean follow-up duration was 11.3 years (9-15). Perioperative complications included intraoperative femoral cortex perforation (six hips, 18 %), dislocation (five hips, 15 %), deep venous thrombosis (one hip, 3 %) and postoperative periprosthetic fracture (one hip, 3 %). The mean preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip score was 50.3 ± 14.9 vs 78.2 ± 11.5 at the latest follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier survival rate at 15 years, calculated using radiological failure or re-revision of the femoral component for any reason as the end point, was 87 or 100 %, respectively. The failure-free survival rate for the subgroup with a good-quality cement mantle was significantly higher than that for the subgroup with poor quality (p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS The quality of cementation was identified as a significant risk factor for further loosening. Revision total hip replacement using a cemented long femoral component yielded satisfactory long-term results in this series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stabilization of a pelvic discontinuity with a posterior column plate with or without an associated acetabular cage sometimes results in persistent micromotion across the discontinuity with late fatigue failure and component loosening. Acetabular distraction offers an alternative technique for reconstruction in cases of severe bone loss with an associated pelvic discontinuity. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We describe the acetabular distraction technique with porous tantalum components and evaluate its survival, function, and complication rate in patients undergoing revision for chronic pelvic discontinuity. METHODS Between 2002 and 2006, we treated 28 patients with a chronic pelvic discontinuity with acetabular reconstruction using acetabular distraction. A porous tantalum elliptical acetabular component was used alone or with an associated modular porous tantalum augment in all patients. Three patients died and five were lost to followup before 2 years. The remaining 20 patients were followed semiannually for a minimum of 2 years (average, 4.5 years; range, 2-7 years) with clinical (Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score) and radiographic (loosening, migration, failure) evaluation. RESULTS One of the 20 patients required rerevision for aseptic loosening. Fifteen patients remained radiographically stable at last followup. Four patients had early migration of their acetabular component but thereafter remained clinically asymptomatic and radiographically stable. At latest followup, the average improvement in the patients not requiring rerevision using the modified Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score was 6.6 (range, 3.3-9.6). There were no postoperative dislocations; however, one patient had an infection, one a vascular injury, and one a bowel injury. CONCLUSIONS Acetabular distraction with porous tantalum components provides predictable pain relief and durability at 2- to 7-year followup when reconstructing severe acetabular defects with an associated pelvic discontinuity.

Abstract
We examined the sensitivity and accuracy of measuring osteolysis around total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on radiographs, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a cadaver model. Fifty-four simulated osteolytic defects ranging from 0.7 to 14 cm(3) were created in 6 cadaver knees implanted with either a cemented or an uncemented TKA. Three blinded investigators assessed the presence, location, and volume of defects on radiographs and CT and MRI scans with metal reduction protocols. Both CT and MRI had significantly higher sensitivities and specificities than did plain radiographs (P < .005). Overall, there was no difference in the accuracy of defect volume measurements between CT and MRI (P = .574). This study demonstrates the limitations of radiographs and the high sensitivity and specificity of both CT and MRI in assessing osteolysis around TKA.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is one of the leading causes of total joint revision procedures. If allowed to progress in the absence of radiographic diagnosis and/or proper medical treatment, osteolysis may result in aseptic loosening yielding failure of the implant and the need for complex revision arthroplasty. The purpose of this review was to assess the current understanding of periprosthetic osteolysis with an emphasis on host factors and future directions. A PubMed search was conducted using the following key words; osteolysis, periprosthetic osteolysis, osteolysis imaging. Pertinent articles, as it pertained to the outline of the review, were selected. Periprosthetic osteolysis stems from numerous risk factors. Osteolysis host characteristic risk factors include gender, body weight, and genetics. Current implant designs have reduced the incidence of this disease; however no current design has been able to replicate the in vivo characteristics and therefore development of wear particles continues to be seen. Advanced methods of imaging diagnosis are on the rise, however early imaging diagnosis is currently ineffective. Pharmacologic intervention appears to be a logical avenue for medical intervention, but no approved drug therapy to prevent or inhibit periprosthetic osteolysis is currently available. Although the rate of periprosthetic osteolysis seems to be decreasing with advances in implant design and increased knowledge of the biological process of wear particle induced osteolysis, the rapid increase in the total number of total joint arthroplasties over the next two decades means that better ways of detecting and treating periprosthetic osteolysis are greatly needed.

An in vivo investigation of the initiation and progression of subchondral cysts in a rodent model of secondary osteoarthritis. Arthritis Res Ther 2012; 14:R26.

Abstract
Introduction Subchondral bone cysts (SBC) have been identified in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) as a cause of greater pain, loss of cartilage and increased chance of joint replacement surgery. Few studies monitor SBC longitudinally, and clinical research using three-dimensional imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is limited to retrospective analyses as SBC are identified within an OA patient cohort. The purpose of this study was to use dual-modality, preclinical imaging to monitor the initiation and progression of SBC occurring within an established rodent model of knee OA. Methods Eight rodents underwent anterior cruciate ligament transection and partial medial meniscectomy (ACLX) of the right knee. In vivo 9.4 T MRI and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans were performed consecutively prior to ACLX and 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-ACLX. Resultant images were co-registered using anatomical landmarks, which allowed for precise tracking of SBC size and composition throughout the study. The diameter of the SBC was measured, and the volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) was calculated within the bone adjacent to SBC. At 12 weeks, the ACLX and contralateral knees were processed for histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, and Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) pathological scoring. Results At 4 weeks post-ACLX, 75% of the rodent knees had at least 1 cyst that formed in the medial tibial plateau; by 12 weeks all ACLX knees contained SBC. Imaging data revealed that the SBC originate in the presence of a subchondral bone plate breach, with evolving composition over time. The diameter of the SBC increased significantly over time (P = 0.0033) and the vBMD significantly decreased at 8 weeks post-ACLX (P = 0.033). Histological analysis demonstrated positive staining for bone resorption and formation surrounding the SBC, which were consistently located beneath the joint surface with the greatest cartilage damage. Trabecular bone adjacent the SBC lacked viable osteocytes and, combined with bone marrow changes, indicated osteonecrosis. Conclusions This study provides insight into the mechanisms leading to SBC formation in knee OA. The expansion of these lesions is due to stress-induced bone resorption from the incurred mechanical instability. Therefore, we suggest these lesions can be more accurately described as a form of OA-induced osteonecrosis, rather than 'subchondral cysts'.

Abstract
There is convincing evidence that particles produced by the wear of joint prostheses are causal in the peri-prosthetic loss of bone, or osteolysis, which, if it progresses, leads to the phenomenon of aseptic loosening. It is important to fully understand the biology of this bone loss because it threatens prosthesis survival, and loosened implants can result in peri-prosthetic fracture, which is disastrous for the patient and presents a difficult surgical scenario. The focus of this review is the bioactivity of polyethylene (PE) particles, since there is evidence that these are major players in the development and progression of osteolysis around prostheses which use PE as the bearing surface. The review describes the biological consequences of interaction of PE particles with macrophages, osteoclasts and cells of the osteoblast lineage, including osteocytes. It explores the possible cellular mechanisms of action of PE and seeks to use the findings to date to propose potential non-surgical treatments for osteolysis. In particular, a non-surgical approach is likely to be applicable to implants containing newer, highly cross-linked PEs (HXLPEs), for which osteolysis seems to occur with much reduced PE wear compared with conventional PEs. The caveat here is that we know little as yet about the bioactivity of HXLPE particles and addressing this constitutes our next challenge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aseptic osteolysis has been the single most important factor limiting the longevity of a THA. A great deal of attention has been focused on the development of implants and materials that minimize the development of osteolysis. The monoblock porous tantalum acetabular cup was designed to minimize osteolysis, but whether it does so is unclear. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We evaluated the incidence of osteolytic lesions after THA using a monoblock porous tantalum acetabular component. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who had a THA using a monoblock porous tantalum acetabular cup. At a minimum of 9.6 years postoperatively (average, 10.3 years; SD, 0.2 years; range, 9.6-10.8 years), a helical CT scan of the pelvis using a metal suppression protocol was obtained. This scan was evaluated for the presence of osteolysis. RESULTS We found no evidence of osteolysis on CT scan at an average of 10.3 years. CONCLUSIONS Osteolysis appears not to be a major problem at 10 years with this monoblock porous tantalum acetabular component, but longer term followup will be required to determine whether these findings persist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteolysis is a major mode of hip implant failure. Previous literature has focused on the amount of polyethylene wear comparing highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXPLE) with conventional liners but has not clarified the relative incidence of osteolysis with these two liners. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined (1) the incidence of osteolysis in HXLPE versus conventional polyethylene (CPE), (2) the ability to detect and evaluate the size of lytic lesions using radiographs compared with CT scans, (3) head penetration in hips without and with lysis, and (4) determined whether acetabular position, head size, and UCLA activity score contributed to lysis. METHODS We compared head penetration and osteolysis on plain radiographs and presence and volume of osteolysis on CT scans in 48 patients with HXLPE (mean, 46.5 years) and 50 patients with CPE (mean, 43.2 years). The minimum followup was 5 years (average, 7.2 years; range, 5.1-10.9 years), RESULTS Osteolysis was apparent on CT in a larger number of patients with CPE liners than HXLPE liners: 12 of 50 (24%) versus one of 48 (2%), respectively. We found no correlation between head penetration and volume of osteolytic lesions. Head penetration was greater in patients with osteolysis. Smaller head sizes were associated with greater wear and those with osteolysis had smaller head sizes; however, there was no difference in acetabular component position or UCLA activity in those with lysis compared with those without. CONCLUSIONS HXLPE diminished the incidence of osteolysis, but the lack of correlation between penetration and volume of osteolysis suggests other factors other than wear contribute to the development of osteolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular defects are frequently grafted during revision THA. Previous studies using plain radiographs report high rates of graft incorporation. However, given plain radiographs underestimate osteolysis, it is unclear whether plain radiographs adequately reflect graft fill or incorporation. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined if (1) graft fill; or (2) incorporation (measured as graft-bone contact) differed with complete revision and grafting compared to liner exchange and grafting; (3) defect fill and incorporation could be assessed on plain radiographs; and (4) the cost of bone grafting differed with these two procedures. METHODS We identified 40 patients who underwent revision THA for aseptic loosening or polyethylene wear and osteolysis, either with retention of a well-fixed cup or complete acetabular revision in which bone graft was used. Lesion size, percent fill, and graft healing was quantified from CT scans. A limited cost analysis was performed using the current hospital costs for implants, bone grafts, and bone graft substitutes. The minimum followup was 1 year (mean, 4.8 years; range, 1-11 years). RESULTS The average defect fill was 30% (range, 0%-81%). The average percent of healing to host bone was 24% (range, 0-66%). Complete revisions had a higher percent defect fill compared to head/liner changes (47% versus 17%) as well as a higher degree of graft healing to host bone compared to head/liner changes (36% versus 14%). High resolution CT demonstrated lower percentages of defect fill and graft healing than previous reports based on plain radiographs. Bone grafting costs exceeded implant costs in the head/liner exchange group; however, the overall cost was higher in the complete revision group. CONCLUSIONS Higher degrees of defect fill and healing were seen with complete revisions compared to head/liner exchanges. Compared to CT scans, plain radiograph assessment tended to overestimate defect fill and healing.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the pelvic osteolytic volume on computed tomography (CT) and clinical outcome in patients with cementless acetabular components. We reviewed 87 patients (104 hips) who met the following inclusion criteria: (1) there was evidence of pelvic osteolysis on CT at a minium of five years postoperatively, (2) all cups and stems were radiographically stable at the time of CT, (3) the follow-up period after CT was a minimum of two years clinically. The mean pelvic osteolytic volume was 2.3 ± 6.9 cm(3). The mean Harris hip score (HHS) at CT was 92.3 ± 7.9 points. Inversely moderate correlation (r = -0.569, P < 0.05) was found between the HHS at CT and pelvic osteolytic volume. In ten cases of hips with acetabular revisions, the mean pelvic osteolytic volume was 16.3 ± 26.9 cm(3). The mean HHS at CT and HHS at reoperation was 87.6 ± 9.2 points and 73.4 ± 8.8 points, respectively, with significant difference (P < 0.05). The area under curve (ROC) analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value of the osteolytic volume was 4.8 cm(3) with 100% each for sensitivity and specificity. We conclude that the amount of pelvic osteolytic volume on CT may be used to guide treatment decision-making in patients with well-fixed cementless acetabular components who show evidence of pelvic osteolysis.

Abstract
Using computed tomography, the volume, location, and number of osteolytic lesions were determined adjacent to 38 Harris-Galante 1 (HG-1) acetabular components fixed with screws and 19 porous-coated anatomic (PCA) acetabular components press-fitted without screws. The median implantation times were 16 and 15 years, respectively. The mean total lesion volumes were similar: 11.1 cm(3) (range, 0.7-49 cm(3)) and 9.8 cm(3) (range, 0.4-52 cm(3)), respectively, for hips with HG-1 and PCA components (P = .32). There was a significant difference in the proportion of rim-related, screw or screw hole-related, and combined lesions between the 2 component designs (P < .0001). HG-1 components had more screw and screw hole-related lesions, and PCA components had more rim-related lesions. Although there are concerns regarding screw and screw hole-associated osteolysis, these findings suggest that peripheral fixation may be well maintained in the long term with the use of multiple-hole acetabular components with screw fixation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Resurfacing total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) may preserve the femoral neck bone stock postoperatively. Bone mineral density (BMD) may be affected by the hip position, which might bias longitudinal studies. We investigated the dependency of BMD precision on type of ROI and hip position. METHOD We DXA-scanned the femoral neck of 15 resurfacing patients twice with the hip in 3 different rotations: 15 degrees internal, neutral, and 15 degrees external. For each position, BMD was analyzed with 3 surface area models. One model measured BMD in the total femoral neck, the second model divided the neck in two, and the third model had 6 divisions. RESULTS When all hip positions were pooled, average coefficients of variation (CVs) of 3.1%, 3.6%, and 4.6% were found in the 1-, 2-, and 6-region models, respectively. The externally rotated hip position was less reproducible. When rotating in increments of 15 degrees or 30 degrees , the average CVs rose to 7.2%, 7.3%, and 12% in the 3 models. Rotation affected the precision most in the model that divided the neck in 6 subregions, predominantly in the lateral and distal regions. For larger-region models, some rotation could be allowed without compromising the precision. INTERPRETATION If hip rotation is strictly controlled, DXA can reliably provide detailed topographical information about the BMD changes around an RTHA. As rotation strongly affects the precision of the BMD measurements in small regions, we suggest that a less detailed model should be used for analysis in studies where the leg position has not been firmly controlled.

Abstract
Polyethylene (PE) wear particles are associated with the osteolysis seen in aseptic loosening that leads to orthopaedic implant failure. While cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage are implicated, evidence is now emerging that osteoblastic cells may also be affected by PE. In this study we investigated the effect of PE particles on osteoblasts, using a novel in vitro cell culture system that was developed to juxtapose cells and PE particles, replicating the 3-dimensional (3D) environment near implants. This system allowed normal human bone-derived cells (NHBC) to undergo differentiation into a mature osteocyte-like phenotype over a 21-28-day culture period. PE particles induced an increase in mRNA expression of the osteocyte markers E11, DMP-1 and SOST/sclerostin. NHBC responded to PE particles by increasing the mRNA expression of several genes associated with osteoclast formation and activity (RANKL, IL-8 and M-CSF) and decreased the expression of the osteoclast antagonist, OPG. PE also appeared to induce a switch in the RUNX2 control of gene expression from that of promoting matrix production (type I collagen) to inducing the expression of pro-osteoclastogenic genes. These results suggest that PE particles switch mature osteoblastic cells from an anabolic to a more catabolic phenotype. This concept was further supported by the finding that PE-induced expression of RANKL mRNA in the mouse osteocyte cell line, MLO-Y4. Overall, our results suggest that PE particles directly induce a change in the phenotype of mature osteoblasts and osteocytes, consistent with the net loss of bone near orthopaedic implants.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The most common method to diagnose and monitor osteolysis is the standard anteroposterior radiograph. Unfortunately, plain radiographs underestimate the incidence and extent of osteolysis. CT scans are more sensitive and accurate but also more expensive and subject patients to more radiation. To determine whether the volume of pelvic osteolysis could be accurately estimated without a CT scan, we evaluated the relationships between CT volume measurements and other variables that may be related to the size of pelvic osteolytic lesions in 78 THAs. Only the area of pelvic osteolysis measured on radiographs, heavy patient activity level, and total volume of wear were associated with the pelvic osteolysis volume measured on CT in the context of the multivariate regression analysis. Despite a strong correlation (r = 0.93, r(2) = 0.87) between these three variables and the volume of pelvic osteolysis measured on CT, estimates of pelvic osteolysis volume deviated from the actual volume measured on CT by more than 10 cm(3) among eight of the 78 THAs in this study. CT images remain our preferred modality when accurate assessments of pelvic osteolysis volume are required. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, diagnostic study.

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
The host response to wear debris particles constitutes a major component of periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Thus, biologic interventions represent a logical approach to prevent this complication of total joint replacement. Several major obstacles must be overcome before a therapeutic intervention can emerge, most notably the development of a safe and effective drug, as well as the development of a quantitative outcome measure that can prove efficacy in a relatively small multicenter trial of patients with established osteolysis. Research is needed in several areas, including whether a threshold phenomenon exists for osteolytic progression, whether anabolic agents administered postoperatively can significantly increase osteointegration of the implant and reduce the potential for aseptic loosening, and whether RANKL antagonists can inhibit the progression of periprosthetic osteolysis. Imaging advancements and an osteolysis registry would significantly enhance the potential for a successful clinical trial.
