The effects of statins on bone formation in periprosthetic osteolysis have not been determined to date. We investigated the effect of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor simvastatin on osteoblastic bone formation under conditions of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) particle-induced osteolysis. The murine calvarial osteolysis model was utilized in 21 C57BL/J6 mice randomized to three groups. Group I underwent sham surgery only, group II received UHMWPE particles, and group III, particles and simvastatin treatment. After 2 weeks, calvaria were processed for histomorphometry and stained with Giemsa dye. New bone formation was measured as osteoid tissue area within the midline suture. Bone thickness was quantified as indicator of net bone growth. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and a Student's t-test. New bone formation and bone thickness were significantly enhanced following simvastatin treatment. New bone formation was 0.008 +/- 0.008 mm(2) in sham controls (group 1), 0.015 +/- 0.012 mm(2) after particle implantation without further intervention (group 11), compared to 0.083 +/- 0.021 mm(2) with particle implantation and simvastatin treatment (group III) (p = 0.003). The bone thickness was 0.213 +/- 0.007 mm in group I, 0.183 +/- 0.005 mm in group II, and 0.238 +/- 0.009 mm in group III (p = 0.00008). In conclusion, simvastatin treatment markedly promoted bone formation and net bone growth in UHMWPE particle-induced osteolysis in a murine calvarial model. These new findings indicate that simvastatin may have favorable osteoanabolic effects on wear debris-mediated osteolysis after total joint arthroplasty, involving local stimulation of osteoblastic bone formation.
