Comparison of Explanted UHMWPE Hip Replacement Components of Various Manufacturers after 10 Years in vivo
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Considered to be one of the most common causes of aseptic loosening of endoprostheses is the THA failure due to the wear of articulating components, UHMWPE in particular. The purpose of this study is to verify, in terms of oxidative damage and other parameters, the differences between the UHMWPE implants made by various manufacturers explanted for aseptic loosening with the same life span in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the period 2010-2015, a total of 21 THA articulating components (cups) made of Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene by seven different manufacturers were explanted. For each manufacturer, three UHMWPE cups with the same life span (10-12 years after the primary implantation) were evaluated. The damage to the examined joint replacements was described in complexity using three different criteria, namely independently by three evaluators - experienced orthopaedic surgeons. The evaluated criteria were the following: degree of osteolysis determined based on the preoperative radiographs, wear rate of the explanted UHMWPE component, and extent of perioperatively detected granuloma. Oxidative damage and other structural characteristics of explanted cups were studied by means of infrared spectroscopy and microhardness testing. The correlation between the clinical orthopaedic assessment and oxidative damage were statistically processed. RESULTS Strong correlations between the oxidative damage and crystallinity, strong correlations between all types of orthopaedic assessments, negligible correlations between trans-vinylene index and all the other quantities, and moderate correlations between the oxidative damage and clinical evaluation were identified. It was confirmed by experimental measurement that the observed high oxidative damage, resulting in increased crystallinity, manifested itself also in micromechanical properties of the material at the respective site of the THA articulating component. DISCUSSION The discussion includes the comparison of correlations of individual quantities as well as potential effects on the differences in values of components made by individual manufacturers. The values are related to the data in literature and generally accepted claims. CONCLUSIONS At the time of failure almost all the components showed severe or even critical oxidative damage that strongly correlated with the overall clinical evaluation of the damage to the implant. This confirmed that the oxidative degradation is one of the main causes of THA failure. Key words: UHMWPE, oxidation index, crystallinity, THA failure, wear.
