全关节成形术中假体周围骨溶解的概述：本体因素与未来发展方向

假体周围骨溶解是全关节翻修术的主要原因之一,如果在缺乏影像学诊断和(或)正确的治疗手段下而任其进展,骨溶解造成的无菌性松动会导致假体置换的失败,患者将需要进行关节翻修术。这篇综述的目的是立足于本体因素和未来发展方向的前提下来评估近几年对假体周围骨溶解的认识。假体周围骨溶解来源于多种危险因素。骨溶解特有的主体因素包括性别、体重和遗传学因素。新近的假体设计已经降低了这种情况的发生,但是没有一种设计可以代替体内原有的结构特征,因此,我们仍然可以看到关于磨损颗粒的的研究进展。在影像学诊断方面,先进的技术不断出现,但是在早期诊断方面依然缺乏有效的方法。药物干预看似是一种可行的医学干预方法,但是目前还没有明确的药物治疗被证明在阻止或抑制假体周围骨溶解方面是可行的。尽管随着假体设计的进步和对磨损颗粒诱导的假体周围骨溶解生物学过程知识的不断丰富,假体周围骨溶解率在下降,但是在未来二十年全关节置换术数量将快速上升,这意味着我们将需要诊断和治疗假体周围骨溶解的更好方法。

中药防治假体周围骨溶解的研究进展

现如今人工关节置换术越来越多的应用于重建关节功能改善关节疾病患者的生活质量,但是术后并发症严重影响了手术的效果,人工假体周围骨溶解及假体无菌性松动又是人工关节置换术后失败的主要原因之一,所以如何预防以及发病后如何去治疗成为现今关节医生面临的重要课题。OPG/RANKL/RANK系统,炎性因子的产生,破骨细胞、成骨细胞这些都是影响人工假体术后产生无菌性松动,和引发假体周围骨溶解的重要因素,有效药物的干预治疗成为现如今关节置换术后以及围手术期的热门话题,中药因其副作用小,疗效独特,及深入的研究逐渐受到广大医生的注意,因此中药在治疗人工假体松动及骨溶解方面也得到了重大突破,本文从中医肾藏精,精生髓,髓能养骨理论着手总结中药作用于OPG/RANKL/RANK系统,抑制炎性因子、破骨细胞及促进成骨细胞增殖的研究现状。     

Analysis of bone–prosthesis interface micromotion for cementless tibial prosthesis fixation and the influence of loading conditions

A lack of initial stability of the fixation is associated with aseptic loosening of the tibial components of cementless knee prostheses. With sufficient stability after surgery, minimal relative motion between the prosthesis and bone interfaces allows osseointegation to occur thereby providing a strong prosthesis-to-bone biological attachment. Finite element modelling was used to investigate the bone–prosthesis interface micromotion and the relative risk of aseptic loosening. It was anticipated that by prescribing different joint loads representing gait and other activities, and the consideration of varying tibial–femoral contact points during knee flexion, it would influence the computational prediction of the interface micromotion. In this study, three-dimensional finite element models were set up with applied loads representing walking and stair climbing, and the relative micromotions were predicted. These results were correlated to in-vitro measurements and to the results of prior retrieval studies. Two load conditions, (i) a generic vertical joint load of 3×body weight with 70%/30% M/L load share and antero-posterior/medial-lateral shear forces, acted at the centres of the medial and lateral compartments of the tibial tray, and (ii) a peak vertical joint load at 25% of the stair climbing cycle with corresponding antero-posterior shear force applied at the tibial–femoral contact points of the specific knee flexion angle, were found to generate interface micromotion responses which corresponded to in-vivo observations. The study also found that different loads altered the interface micromotion predicted, so caution is needed when comparing the fixation performance of various reported cementless tibial prosthetic designs if each design was evaluated with a different loading condition.     

Cut type femur neck prosthesis--a functional morphologic analysis]

In contrast to other commonly employed models, the cut model femoral neck prosthesis is a cementless prosthesis of comparatively small dimensions. With the aim of investigating its functional integration in the femur, radiological, densitometric and photoelastic analyses were carried out. The biomechanical reaction of the bone tissue expected on the basis of the experimental result is tested in the clinical situation.     

Torsion and bending imposed on a new anterior cruciate ligament prosthesis during knee flexion: an evaluation method

A new composite prosthesis was recently proposed for the anterior cruciate ligament. It is implanted in the femur and the tibia through two anchoring channels. Its intra-articular portion, composed of a fiber mesh sheath wrapped around a silicone rubber cylindrical core, reproduces satisfactorily the ligament response in tension. However, the prosthesis does not only undergo elongation. In addition, it is submitted to torsion in its intra-articular portion and bending at its ends. This paper presents a new method to evaluate these two types of deformations throughout a knee flexion by means of a geometric model of the implanted prosthesis. Input data originate from two sources: (i) a three-dimensional anatomic topology of the knee joint in full extension, providing the localization of the prosthesis anchoring channels, and ii) a kinematic model of the knee describing the motion of these anchoring channels during a physiological flexion of the knee joint. The evaluation method is independent of the way input data are obtained. This method, applied to a right cadaveric knee, shows that the orientation of the anchoring channels has a large effect on the extent of torsion and bending applied to the implanted prosthesis throughout a knee flexion, especially on the femoral side. The study suggests also the best choice for the anchoring channel axes orientation.     

Bone remodelling of the scapula after a total shoulder arthroplasty

According to Wolff’s law, the changes in stress after a prosthesis implantation may modify the shape and internal structure of bone, thus compromising the long-term prosthesis fixation and, consequently, be a significant factor for glenoid loosening. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the changes in the bone adaptation process of the scapula after an anatomical and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Five finite element models of the implanted scapula are developed considering the implantation of three anatomical, cemented, all-polyethylene components; an anatomical, cementless, metal-backed component; and a reverse, all-metal component. The methodology followed to simulate the bone adaptation of the scapula was previously validated for the intact model, prior to the prosthesis implantation. Additionally, the influence of the bone quality on the adaptation process is also investigated by considering an osteoporotic condition. The results show that the stress shielding phenomenon is more concerning in cementless, metal-based components than in cemented, all-polyethylene components, regardless of the bone quality. Consequently, as far as the bone adaptation process of the bone is concerned, cemented, all-polyethylene components are better suited for the treatment of the shoulder joint.     

A three-dimensional anatomical model of the human patello-femoral joint,for the determination of patello-femoral motions and contact characteristics

The object of this study is to develop a three-dimensional mathematical model of the patello-femoral joint, which is modelled as two rigid bodies representing a moving patella and a fixed femur. Two-point contact was assumed between the femur and patella at the medial and lateral sides and in the analysis, the femoral and patellar articular surfaces were mathematically represented using Coons' bicubic surface patches. Model equations include six equilibrium equations and eleven constraints: six contact conditions, four geometric compatibility conditions, and the condition of a rigid patellar ligament; the model required the solution of a system of 17 nonlinear equations in 17 unknowns, its response describing the six-degress-of-freedom patellar motions and the forces acting on the patella. Patellar motions are described by six motion parameters representing the translations and rotations of the patella with respect to the femur. The forces acting on the patella include the medial and lateral component of patello-femoral contact and the patellar ligament force, all of which were represented as ratios to the quadriceps tendon force. The model response also includes the locations of the medial and lateral contact points on the femur and the patella. A graphical display of its response was produced in order to visualize better the motion of the components of the extensor mechanism.Model calculations show good agreement with experimental results available from the literature. The patella was found to move distally and posteriorly on the femoral condyles as the knee was flexed from full extension. Results indicate that the relative orientation of the patellar ligament with respect to the patella remains unchanged during this motion. The model also predicts a patellar flexion which always lagged knee flexion.Our calculations show that as the angle of knee flexion increased, the lateral contact point moved distally on the femur without moving significantly either medially or laterally. The medial contact point also moved distally on the femur but moved medially from full extension to about 40° of knee flexion, then laterally as the knee flexion angle increased. The lateral contact point on the patella did not change significantly in the medial and lateral direction as the knee was flexed; however, this point moved proximally toward the basis of the patella with knee flexion. The medial contact point also moved proximally on the patella with knee flexion, and in a similar manner the medial contact point on the patella moved distally with flexion from full extension to about 40° of flexion. However, as the angle of flexion increased, the medial contact point did not move significantly in the medial-lateral direction.Model calculations also show that during the simulated knee extension exercise, the ratio of the force in the patellar ligament to the force in the quadriceps tendon remains almost unchanged for the first 30° of knee flexion, then decreases as the angle of knee flexion increases. Furthermore, model results show that the lateral component of the patello-femoral contact force is always greater than the medial component, both components increasing with knee flexion.     

Analysis of a femoral hip prosthesis designed to reduce stress shielding

The natural stress distribution in the femur is significantly altered after total hip arthroplasty (THA). When an implant is introduced, it will carry a portion of the load, causing a reduction of stress in some regions of the remaining bone. This phenomenon is commonly known as stress shielding. In response to the changed mechanical environment the shielded bone will remodel according to Wolff's law, resulting in a loss of bone mass through the biological process called resorption. Resorption can, in turn, cause or contribute to loosening of the prosthesis. The problem is particularly common among younger THA recipients. This study explores the hypothesis that through redesign, a total hip prosthesis can be developed to substantially reduce stress shielding. First, we describe the development of a new femoral hip prosthesis designed to alleviate this problem through a new geometry and system of proximal fixation. A numerical comparison with a conventional intramedullary prosthesis as well as another proximally fixed prosthesis, recently developed by Munting and Verhelpen (1995. Journal of Biomechanics 28(8), 949–961) is presented. The results show that the new design produces a more physiological stress state in the proximal femur.     

Locomotion in the quail (Coturnix japonica): the kinematics of walking and increasing speed

Hindlimb segmental kinematics and stride characteristics are quantified in several quail locomoting on a treadmill over a six-fold increase in speed. These data are used to describe the kinematics of a walking stride and to identify which limb elements are used to change stride features as speed increases. In quail, the femur does not move during locomotion and the tarsometatarsus-phalangeal joint is a major moving joint; thus, quail have lost the most proximal moving joint and added one distally. The tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus act together as a fixed strut swinging from the knee during stance phase (the ankle angle remains constant at a given speed) and the tarsometatarsus-phalangeal joint appears to have a major role in increasing limb length during the propulsive phase of the stride. Speed is increased with greater knee extension and by lengthening the tibiotarsus/tarsometatarsus via increased ankle extension at greater speeds. Because the femur is not moved and three distal elements are, quail move the limb segments through a stride and increase speed in a way fundamentally different from other nonavian vertebrates. However, the three moving joints in quail (the knee, ankle, and tarsometatarsophangeal joint) have strikingly similar kinematics to the analogous moving joints (the hip, knee, and ankle) in other vertebrates. Comparisons to other vertebrates indicate that birds appear to have two modes of limb function (three- and four-segment modes) that vary with speed and locomotory habits.     

The influence of design, materials and kinematics on the in vitro wear of total knee replacements

Debris-induced osteolysis due to surface wear of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearings is a potential long-term failure mechanism of total knee replacements (TKR). This study investigated the effect of prosthesis design, kinematics and bearing material on the wear of UHMWPE bearings using a physiological knee simulator. The use of a curved fixed bearing design with stabilised polyethylene bearings reduced wear in comparison to more flat-on-flat components which were sterilised by gamma irradiation in air. Medium levels of crosslinking further improved the wear resistance of fixed bearing TKR due to resistance to strain softening when subjected to multidirectional motion at the femoral-insert articulating interface. Backside motion was shown to be a contributing factor to the overall rate of UHMWPE wear in fixed bearing components. Wear of fixed bearing prostheses was reduced significantly when anterior-posterior displacement and internal-external rotation kinematics were reduced due to decreased cross shear on the articulating surface and a reduction in AP displacement. Rotating platform mobile bearing prostheses exhibited reduced wear rates in comparison to fixed bearing components in these simulator studies due to redistribution of knee motion to two articulating interfaces with more linear motions at each interface. This was observed in two rotating platform designs with different UHMWPE bearing materials. In knee simulator studies, wear of TKR bearings was dependent on kinematics at the articulating surfaces and the prosthesis design, as well as the type of material.
