(1) AIM:Alendronate can prevent periprosthetic osteolysis induced by wear debris particles of the implants, but the mechanism of alendronate still needs further research.

(2) Vertebral fracture be due to osteolysis, osteonecrosis, or osteosclerosis can have heterogeneous bone structure.

(3) Wear of the polyethylene in osteolysis and impingement, both of which culminate in aseptic loosening.

(4) These designs, however, had a high frequency of failure, with large amounts of osteolysis recorded distally.

(5) Gorham disease is a so - called massive idiopathic osteolysis or vanishing bone disorder.

(6) The commonest reason of revision of total hip replacement is loosening and osteolysis.

(7) Although proximal stress shielding does not adversely affect early clinical results, the combination of bone remodeling and subsequent osteolysis can predispose to trochanteric fracture.

(8) Wear particles induced-biological reaction in histiocyte surrounding the prosthesis is an important factor of osteolysis and aseptic loosening after prosthetic replacement.

(9) The radiology finds were 16 cases with invasion or osteolysis osteoclasia, 3 cases with invasion osteoclasia and irregular sclerosis, 2 cases with osteolysis osteoclasia and capsular dilatation.

(10) This study gave a review of interface membrane including its formation, cellulosity, osteolysis factor, immunity reaction and turnover.

(11) No wear was found on the latest radiograph, but osteolysis was noted in three femora and two acetabula.

(12) Another technique is impaction grafting, which is usually reserved for severe osteolysis.

(13) The term survival of total joint replacements is dependent on the prevention of periprosthetic osteolysis.

(14) As in arthroplasty of the appendicular skeleton, there exists concern over wear debris leading to osteolysis and the systemic effects of free metallic ion production.
