## Abstract Particle‐induced osteolysis is a major cause of aseptic loosening after total joint replacement. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the DNA damage repair capacity of macrophages in patients with aseptic hip loosening by determination of ERCC1. Moreover, we wanted to elucid

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to elucidate if the adiponectin level correlates with the survival of joint replacements. Current data indicates that adiponectin regulates lipid and glucose metabolism and acts anti‐inflammatory and anti‐apoptotic. We compared the value of adiponectin in s
This study was performed to quantitate vascularity in periprosthetic tissues of loose total hip replacements (THRs), because most likely revascularization and endothelial cells are important for implant osseointegration and loosening. Interface and pseudocapsular tissue samples obtained from loose T
