Hypersensitivity to Implant Debris
Total Joint Replacements (TJR) have been extremely successful over the past 50 years, restoring mobility and function to millions of people each year. However, over time these implants need replacing for a number of reasons, such as infection or increasing immune reactivity to implant debris. All implant metals degrade in vivo, and the released products biologically interact locally and systemi...
متن کاملMetal Hypersensitivity to Implant Materials
Hypersensitivity to TMJ implant materials is an issue that we are frequently hearing from TMJ patients. Given this concern we contacted Marco Caicedo, Ph.D., Senior Scientists and COO at Orthopedic Analysis in Chicago, IL. Orthopedic Analysis is an independent diagnostics company dedicated to the quantitative analysis of immune responses to biomaterials (i.e metal allergy to implant materials)....
متن کاملOptimisation of orthopaedic implant design
10 Statistical shape analysis techniques have shown to be efficient tools to build pop11 ulation specific models of anatomical variability. Their use is commonplace as prior 12 models for segmentation, in which case the instance from the shape model that 13 best fits the image data is sought. In certain cases, however, it is not just the most 14 likely instance that must be searched, but rather...
متن کاملBiofilm and orthopaedic implant infection
Heledd Havard such as polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) leads to the creation of a protective extracellular matrix that acts as a physical and electrostatic barrier1. Recruitment, proliferation and maturation follow, resulting in the adhesion and incorporation of other microbes. In its early phase of formation, the structure of the biofilm is susceptible to the host immune system and a...
متن کاملEarly implant removal.
I read the letter on ‘Early implant removal: an ethical dilemma’ by Bari et al. in the January 2013 issue of the Journal with interest, a great feeling of disappointment and I shared the feelings of alarm with the authors. The piece reported a 29-year-old woman who was so dissatisfied with her subdermal implant that she attempted removal herself without anaesthetic and she broke the device. She...
