We estimated release of cytokines IL-6 and TNFα and tested viability of macrophages cultured with the samples of polyethylene obtained from new acetabular cup of the hip prostheses and from the cups retrieved 4-6 years after implantation. The macrophages cultured with old polyethylene showed decreased viability and released more IL-6 and TNFα.
