Abstract
Osteolysis is a long-term complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). As the projected number of THAs performed annually increases, osteolysis will likely continue to occur. However, because of advancements in prosthesis design, metallurgy, and enhanced bearing surfaces, fewer revision THAs will be linked to osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Despite these improvements, no preventative therapies are currently available for the management of osteolysis other than removing and replacing the source of bearing wear.Entities:
