## Abstract Loosening is recognized as one of the primary sources of total hip replacement (THR) failure. In this study the influence of the bone surface texture on loosening of the cement/bone interface was studied. Model cemented hip replacements were prepared and subjected to cyclic loads that i
Biochemical features of pseudomembrane formed at the bone-cement interface of 13 failed total hip replacements were studied and histological examination of the pseudomembrane was conducted. The results of biochemical analyses revealed on average hydroxyproline, 86 pg/mg; water content, 57%; hexosami
The methods usually employed for the histological processing of orthopaedic specimens of cemented joint arthroplasties involve treatment with methacrylate monomer and organic solvents which dissolve the polymethylmethacrylate cement. This may distort the intimate relationship of the cell layers alon
The effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) granules interposed between bone and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement in total hip replacement was histologically evaluated. The technique consisted of smearing 2-5 g of HA granules ( โซุโฌ 100 -300 m) onto the bone surface just before cementing. Four specime
