Asymptomatic osteolysis as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease after total hip arthroplasty: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

A clinical problem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is periprosthetic osteolysis/aseptic loosening. There is a possible association between periprosthetic osteolysis and higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate whether THA patients with asymptomatic periacetabular osteolysis, have an increased long-term risk of CVD compared to THA patients without osteolysis, assess time to the event, and compare possible cardiovascular risk markers between the two groups.

Patients and methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 139 patients treated with uncemented THA between 1992 and 2007. All patients were assessed by computed tomography of the affected hip to sort patients in one group with osteolysis and one wit
