Abstract
Wear is the main limiting factor to artroprostheses’ lifetime: at local level the cascade of events induced by reactions to wear debris is still the most frequent cause of implant failure and revision, while the ions released by wear debris originate systemic reactions, depending on their transport by the blood flow to peripheral organs, thanks to the vascularization of the reactive membrane surrounding the implant. (Schmalzried and Callaghan 1999, Urban et al. 2000, Archimbeck et al. 2000, Fisher et al 2001, Sedel 2001, Dumbleton et al. 2002).
