This publication contains papers presented at the Symposium on Biocompatibility of Particulate Implant Materials held in October, 1990. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee F-4 on Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices.
The papers in this publication are organized into two sections – The Clinical Problem and Laboratory and Animal Models. Examples of specific topics covered by papers in the collection include:
- debris mediated osteolysis
- macrophage induction
- bone lysis
- aseptic loosening of joint arthroplastics
- polymer particles
- histopathological effects
- ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene
- porous and cemented surface replacements
- particulate associated endosteal osteolysis
- photon correlation spectroscopy analysis
- profile imaging
- patellofemoral congruity:
- histomorphological reaction patterns
- polymethyl methacrylate debris
- fibroblasts
- in vitro cellular activation
- bone cement wear particles
- human plasma adsorption
- anticollagenase antibody
- synovial cell interactions
