Hall Corina Dommann‐Scherrer Robin Pourzal Peter Wahl APMIS The use of highly crosslinked ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (XLPE) has significantly reduced the volumetric wear of acetabular liners, thereby reducing the incidence of osteolysis. However, contemporary components tend to generate smaller wear particles, which can no longer be identified using conventional histology. This technical limitation can result in imprecise diagnosis. Here, we report on two uncemented total hip arthroplasty cases (~7 years in situ) revised for periprosthetic fracture of the femur and femoral loosening, respectively. Both liners exhibited prominent wear. The retrieved pseudocapsular tissue exhibited a strong macrophage infiltration without microscopically identifiable polyethylene particles. Yet, using Fourier‐transform infrared micro‐spectroscopic imaging (FTIR‐I), we demonstrated the prominent intracellular accumulation of polyethylene debris in both cases. This study shows that particle induced osteolysis can still occur with XLPE liners, even under 10 years in situ. Furthermore, we demonstrate the difficulty of determining the presence of polyethylene debris within periprosthetic tissue. Considering the potentially increased bioactivity of finer particles from XLPE compared to conventional liners, an accurate detection method is required, and new histopathological hallmarks of particle induced osteolysis are needed. FTIR‐I is a great tool to that end and can help the accurate determination of foreign body tissue responses. 10.1111/apm.13421 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ |
