5. Mechanisms of mechanically induced Osteoclastogenesis : in a novel in vitro model for bone implant loosening
Abstract : Total joint arthroplasty is the primary intervention in the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis. Despite the high success rate, in some patients, the replacement will fail during their lifetime requiring a revision of the implant. These revisions are strenuous for the patient and costly for health care. READ MORE
