Abstract

Bone cement is widely used, particularly in hip replacements, but the potential clinical complications of its use have been largely unrecognized. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of bone cement in the proximal femoral medullary cavity (PFMC) on bone mineral density (BMD), intraosseous pressure (IOP), articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the distal femurs of rabbits. A total of 32 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly numbered and the left hind limb of the odd‑numbered rabbits and the right hind limb of the even numbered rabbits were selected as the experimental side. For each rabbit, the non‑experimental hind limb was labeled as the control side by the principal investigator. An intramedullary injection of polymethyl methacrylate was made into the experimental hindlimb of each rabbit and the PFMC filled with bone cement. BMD and IOP of the distal femur of the bilateral hindlimb were measured at 4 and 16 weeks after surgery, and histological and ultra‑fine structural features were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. At week 4 after the operation, IOP in the experimental limb was significantly higher and BMD lower compared with the control limb. At the 16th week after operation, the IOP in the experimental limb was lower than at the 4th week after operation, but still higher compared with controls, and the BMD was significantly higher than the controls. In the controls, IOP and BMD was not significantly different between the 4th and 16th week after operation. Compared with controls, the cartilage in the experimental group was thinner, the chondrocytes partially necrotic and the trabecular structure of the subchondral bone broken. Analysis of ultra‑fine structural features in the experimental group showed chondrocytes with necrotic cytoplasm and pyknotic nuclei relative to controls. The results indicated that blockage of the PFMC with bone cement resulted in an increase in the IOP in the distal femur, a change in BMD and damage to the subchondral bone and articular cartilage.
