Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Artificial hip arthroplasty has been widely used, aseptic loosening of the prosthesis is a common complication after artificial joint arthroplasty, and it is one of the important reasons for the failure of artificial hip arthroplasty. The prosthesis loosening is correlated with a variety of factors.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reason of prosthesis loosening after artificial hip arthroplasty, and to compare and multi-level analyze the trends of domestic and foreign researches and literatures.
METHODS: The correlation between artificial hip arthroplasty and prosthesis loosening was analyzed from the aspects of wear particles and related cytokines, and the articles on the prosthesis loosening after artificial hip arthroplasty were searched from the CNKI database and Web of Science database from 2002 to 2011 and analyzed. The characteristics of the data were analyzed by the analysis capabilities of the database and chart function of Excel software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The aseptic prosthesis loosening after artificial hip arthroplasty is correlated with wear particles, cytokines, biomechanics, the patient's own factors, intraoperative operation, post-operative instructions and other relevant factors. A total of 66 articles on the prosthesis loosening after artificial hip arthroplasty were screened out from the CNKI database from 2002 to 2011, and 891 articles were screened out from Web of Science database, and the number of the articles is in the increasing trend. There is great difference of the number and the cited frequency between the domestic articles and foreign articles. Bone and Joint Surgery: American Volume is the core magazine of the prosthesis loosening after artificial hip arthroplasty. Understanding the reasons for prosthesis loosening after artificial hip arthroplasty can guide the clinicians to prevent the occurrence of prosthesis loosening and improve the quality of life of patients.
