✦ Synopsis

Extensive localized bone lysis in the femur following implantation of a metal-on-metal total hip prosthesis was observed. Fragmentation of the cement occurred 10 years after implantation. Histologic and ultrastructural features of macrophages are consistent with the hypothesis that particles from the acrylic resin were the factors stimulating the macrophagic reaction. Both mechanical factors and changes of the physico-chemical properties of the cement may have an etiologic role.

Largely through the pioneering advances made by John Charnley,' total joint replacements with man-made metal and plastic materials have revolutionized the surgical treatment of millions of patients with end-stage hip and knee arthritis for the past 30 years. Approximately 500,000 total hip and knee
