The characterisation of monocyte responses to mediators released from osteoarthritic and periprosthetic tissues
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening is the major cause of long-term failure of an arthroplasty. Pathophysiological periprosthetic osteolysis is driven by wear debris particles (WDP) accumulating in the surrounding joint tissues. Macrophages, professional phagocytic cells, internalise submicron WDP and upregulate production of inflammatory mediators, stimulating circulating monocytes to migrate into the inflamed joint ti...
