Hydroxyapatite Coating ~ to Porous-Coated Fixation
نویسنده
چکیده
Fifteen patients had bilateral hip replacement with a porous-coated hip replacement in one hip and in the contralateral hip the same design. which had adjunctive hydroxyapatite coating on the porous coating. These patients were followed for an average of 6.5 years (range, 5-7.9 years). There was no difference in the clinical Harris Hip Scores between the two hips in these patients. The radiographic measurements did show improved bone remodeling in hips with adjunctive hydroxyapatite coating as measured by proximal cancellous hypenrophy and evidence of a buttress sign. The fixation of stems with hydroxyapatite coating showed fewer radiolucent lines (P = .013). The improved bone remodeling, which we had previously reponed, has been maintained in these hips at intermediate-term follow-up and the fixation of the hydroxyapatite-coated stems is also now better. The results in these patients with bilateral hips, which allows complete control of the bone type, immunology, weight, activity, and age of the patient, suggests that the use of hydroxyapatite coating does provide improved fixation and the possibility of improved durability.

Hydroxyapatite augmentation of the porous coating improves fixation of tibial components. A randomised RSA study in 116 patients.
In a single-blind, randomised series of knee replacements in 116 patients, we used radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to measure micromotion in three types of tibial implant fixation for two years after knee replacement. We compared hydroxyapatite-augmented porous coating, porous coating, and cemented fixation of the same design of tibial component. At one to two years, porous-coated implants mig...

The bone ingrowth potential of biomimetic hydroxyapatite and brushite coatings applied on porous E-beam structure was examined in goats and compared to a similar uncoated porous structure and a conventional titanium plasma spray coating. Specimens were implanted in the iliac crest of goats for a period of 3 (4 goats) or 15 weeks (8 goats). Mechanical implant fixation generated by bone ingrowth ...
متن کاملThe effect of hydroxyapatite coating on bone growth into porous titanium alloy implants.
In rabbits and goats, test implants with a porous surface of two layers of Tl-6A;-4V beads were examined at intervals for bond strength with bone. Half of the implants were coated with hydroxyapatite by plasma spray. The bonding strength with bone in the coated specimens was about four times greater than that of the uncoated specimens at two weeks, and twice as strong at six weeks. Twelve weeks...
متن کاملEffect of local TGF-β1 and IGF-1 release on implant fixation: comparison with hydroxyapatite coating
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating stimulates the osseointegration of cementless orthopedic implants. Recently, locally released osteogenic growth factors have also been shown experimentally to stimulate osseointegration so that bone fills gaps around orthopedic implants. Here, we have compared the effect of local release of TGF-beta1 and IGF-1 with that of hydroxyapatite coatin...

Objective(s): Scaffolds are considered as biological substitutes in bone defects which improve and accelerate the healing process of surrounding tissue. In recent years a major challenge in biomaterials is to produce porous materials with properties similar to bone tissue. In this study, the natural bioactive hydroxyapatite scaffolds with nano Diopside /Forstrite coating was successfully synthe...
