Abstract:
Aseptic loosening is one of the most frequent long-term complications after joint replacement,which limits the service life of prostheses. A lot of studies have been focused on interface membranes around prostheses recently. In interface membranes, there are plenty of macrophagocytes and desmocytes,which play vital roles in osteolysis. This study gave a review of interface membrane including its formation, cellulosity, osteolysis factor, immunity reaction and turnover. The advances of interface membranes will help us to comprehend the pathogenesy and treatment of the aseptic loosening.
