BACKGROUND: Lumbar total disc replacement (L-TDR) is a procedure used to relieve
back pain and maintain mobility. Contemporary metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) L-TDRs
were developed to address wear performance concerns about historical designs, but
wear debris generation and periprosthetic tissue reactions for these newer
implants have not been determined. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: The purpose of this study
was to determine (1) whether periprosthetic ultrahigh-molecular-weight
polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear debris and biological responses were present in
tissues from revised contemporary MoP L-TDRs that contain conventional cores
fabricated from ?-inert-sterilized UHMWPE; (2) how fixed- versus mobile-bearing
design affected UHMWPE wear particle number, shape, and size; and (3) how these
wear particle characteristics compare with historical MoP L-TDRs that contain
cores fabricated from ?-air-sterilized UHMWPE. METHODS: We evaluated
periprosthetic tissues from 11 patients who received eight fixed-bearing
ProDisc-L and four mobile-bearing CHARITÉ contemporary L-TDRs with a mean
implantation time of 4.1 and 2.7 years, respectively. Histologic analysis of
tissues was performed to assess biological responses and polarized light
microscopy was used to quantify number and size/shape characteristics of UHMWPE
wear particles from the fixed- and mobile-bearing devices. Comparisons were made
to previously reported particle data for historical L-TDRs. RESULTS: Five of
seven (71%) fixed-bearing and one of four mobile-bearing L-TDR patient tissues
contained at least 4 particles/mm(2) wear with associated macrophage
infiltration. Tissues with wear debris were highly vascularized, whereas those
without debris were more necrotic. Given the samples available, the tissue around
mobile-bearing L-TDR was observed to contain 87% more, 11% rounder, and 11%
less-elongated wear debris compared with tissues around fixed-bearing devices;
however, there were no significant differences. Compared with historical L-TDRs,
UHMWPE particle number and circularity for contemporary L-TDRs were 99% less (p =
0.003) and 50% rounder (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: In this preliminary study,
short-term results suggest there was no significant influence of fixed- or
mobile-bearing designs on wear particle characteristics of contemporary L-TDRs,
but conventional UHMWPE has notably improved the wear resistance of these devices
compared with historical UHMWPE.
