51. Wear of UHMWPE Acetabular Cup UHMWPE generates wear particles - billions to trillions wear particles produced (150,000 per step)
- Wear rate = 0.1 mm/year
- most are < 1 micron
- Wear particles migrate to bone and cause osteolysis
___________________________
immune system response to wear particles
bone modeling balance upset
osteoclasts (bone resorption): increases
osteoblasts (bone building)
Causes loss of bone, implant loosening Why do wear particles reduce lifetime?
Bone modeling balance think of bump on finger response to stress
Loss of bone around implant stem = slippage = painWhy do wear particles reduce lifetime?
