Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genetic factor plays an important role in early failure of total hip arthroplasty (aseptic loosening) etiology, and TIMP-1 gene may be involved. The present study was conducted to reveal possible association between TIMP-1 polymorphisms with the risk of early failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA) (aseptic loosening). METHODS: The TIMP-1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs4898, rs6609533, and...
