Q

Risk factors after joint replacement - most common reasons for revision surgery

A
  1. Periprosthetic osteolysis:
    a. A biological response to particles released into the joint space from the prosthetic materials
    b. Results in a loss of bone tissue. Has a direct relationship with joint-bearing surface wear (i.e. a combination of joint-load and frequency of joint use)
    ex. Increased wear = increased osteolysis, Osteolysis can lead to implant loosening and the need for additional surgeries.
  2. Traumatic injury
