Abstract

Particle debris resulting from in vivo degradation of total joint replacement components are recognised as the major factor limiting the longevity of joint reconstruction and the overall success of the procedure. Better understanding the complex cellular and tissue mechanisms and interactions resulting in wear-particle osteolysis requires a number of experimental approaches, including radiological monitoring and analysis of retrieved tissues from clinical cases, in vitro experiments, and also animal-model investigations. In consideration of both their advantages and drawbacks, this paper provides an historical overview of numerous animal models that have been developed over the last three decades to investigate the pathogenesis of wear-particle osteolysis and to facilitate the preclinical testing of new treatment options. The authors also focus on recent studies in order to provide a better understanding of the current state of the art on this subject and propose some perspectives regarding technical and fundamental questions.
