Abstract
The mechanisms by which particulate debris stimulates periprosthetic bone resorption or osteolysis were studied by examining the extent of serum protein binding to TiAlV and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles obtained from soft tissue membranes which were harvested during revision surgery. Results show that both TiAlV and PMMA particles are effective in activating macrophages, thereby contributing to the loosening of prosthetics.
