“…Loosening of total joint replacement appears to result in part from the production and accumulation of particles at the prosthetic interface and the subsequent biological reaction [1][2]. Although metallic and polyethylene particles have been studied [3], little is known about the cellular response to hydroxyapatite (HA) despite the wide use of these materials [4].…”

“…The latter is associated with the generation and accumulation of foreign-body wear debris at the prosthetic interface. [1][2][3] The wear debris incites the formation of granulomata localised to the sites of loosened implants. [4][5][6] Histological analysis of the granulomatous tissue has shown the presence of abundant particulate debris surrounded by numerous macrophages, foreign-body giant cells and fibroblasts.…”

“…Of the different types of particle found in the membranes surrounding the loosened components, polyethylene debris has been identified as a major factor inducing activation of macrophages which leads to the production of bone-resorbing cytokines with resultant loss of bone stock, especially in the young and active population. 1 Pierre Boutin 2 first introduced ceramics in orthopaedics in the early 1970s in order to eliminate or reduce complications related to polyethylene. 3 They are mainly used in total hip arthroplasty as femoral heads articulating against polyethylene, and as cups in the alumina-on-alumina combination.…”
