A new review in Cureus examines how microplastics and wear particles from joint implants may act through converging biological mechanisms, driving inflammation and implant failure in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty. The authors assess clinical relevance and call for next-generation biomaterials designed to reduce particle debris and improve long-term implant outcomes.
