Abstract

The effects of metallic wear debris on the performance of surgical implants and joint prostheses were investigated through in vitro experiments. Periprosthetic tissues were obtained from failed cobalt-chrome-molybdenum hip and TiAlV failed prostheses during replacement surgery and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results suggest that metallic wear debris is cytotoxic to human synoviocytes with release of inflammatory cytokines.
