The Effects of Vitamin E Analogues α-Tocopherol and γ-Tocotrienol on the Human Osteocyte Response to Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene Wear Particles

2022-04-18

Abstract excerpt

Polyethylene (PE) liners are a common bearing surface of orthopaedic prostheses. Wear particles of ultra-high molecular weight PE (UHMWPE) contribute to periprosthetic osteolysis, a major cause of aseptic loosening. Vitamin E is added to some PE liners to prevent oxidative degradation. Osteocytes, an important cell type for controlling both bone mineralisation and bone resorption, have been shown to respond UHMWPE...
