| Popis: | Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure with established success, and impressive survival rates at 15–20 years following the operation. Ultimately, total knee replacement components undergo aseptic loosening and failure. Progressive wear at the articulation of the artificial knee leads to the accumulation of microscopic wear particles in the periprosthetic tissues. The resulting inflammatory response can manifest as periprosthetic bone resorption that results in aseptic loosening of the implants, and late failure of the arthroplasty. |
