Introduction

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a potential source of cells for the repair of articular cartilage and osteochondral defects (OCD) in the ankle. Synovial tissue has been shown to be a rich source of MSCs with the ability to undergo chondrogenic differentiation. Although these cells represent a heterogenous population, clonal populations have not been previously studied.

Methods

MSCs were isolated from synovial tissue of a patient undergoing joint arthroplasty and expanded in culture. Six clonal populations were also isolated and expanded. The cells from the mixed parent population and the derived clonal populations were characterised for stem cell surface epitopes, and then cultured in chondrogenic mediums. Various assays were determined to analyse for features of differentiation.

Aims

Revision total hip arthroplasty is a common operation. The MP Link (Waldemar Link, Hamburg, Germany) system is a distally loading, modular, tapered femoral stem component for revision hip surgery. MP Link in revision total hip arthoplasty was investigated clinically, radiologically and with Oxford hip scores.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted of 43 patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty with MP Link prostheses between 2004 and 2010. The patients were operated upon by one of the senior authors (JM, JS, RC). Outcome data was collected in clinic and via patient questionnaires.
