Abstract
OBJECTIVES A randomized controlled clinical trial of dental implants was conducted to compare the clinical properties of a novel electrochemically deposited calcium phosphate coating to those of a common marketed surface treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty implants of the same brand and type were placed in 20 fully edentulous participants requiring mandibular implantation. The two study groups were defined by the surface treatment of the implants. 20 implants in the control group were coated via a commercial electrochemical surface treatment that forms a mixture of brushite and hydroxyapatite, while the remaining 20 in the test group were coated with a novel electrochemical Smart Bioactive Trabecular Coating (SBTC®). A split-mouth design was employed, with each participants receiving one control implant in one mandibular side and a test implant in the other. To mitigate potential operator-handedness bias, control and test implants were randomly assigned to mandibular sides. All cases underwent digital planning, implant placement with a static surgical guide, and participants received locator-anchored full-arch dentures. The primary outcome was implant stability (measured using Osstell ISQ) assessed at insertion, loading, and then 3 months, 9 months, and 2 years post-insertion. The secondary outcome was bone level change (in millimeters) over the 2-year observation period. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) was monitored using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Complications and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS Successful osseointegration and implant stability were achieved in all cases, allowing loading. ISQ values steadily increased throughout the observation period. While no significant differences were observed between the SBTC® and control coatings, the test group exhibited a higher ISQ gain. Bone resorption was somewhat lower in the SBTC® but not significantly so. Patients' OHRQL significantly improved after denture delivery and remained stable throughout the follow-up. No complications or adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Based on the study results, we conclude that the new surface treatment is a safe alternative to the widely used control surface, demonstrating similar osseointegrative properties and time-dependent bone level changes. Further research may explore the broader implications of these findings. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier ID: NCT06034171.

Spine J 2024; 24:721-729. [PMID: 37875243 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2023.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Methods to improve osseointegration of orthopedic spinal implants remains a clinical challenge. Materials composed of poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and titanium are commonly used in orthopedic applications due to their inherent properties of biocompatibility. Titanium has a clinical reputation for durability and osseous affinity, and PEEK offers advantages of a modulus that approximates osseous structures and is radiolucent. The hypothesis for the current investigation was that a titanium plasma spray (TPS) coating may increase the rate and magnitude of circumferential and appositional trabecular osseointegration of PEEK and titanium implants versus uncoated controls. PURPOSE Using an in vivo ovine model, the current investigation compared titanium plasma-sprayed PEEK and titanium dowels versus nonplasma-sprayed dowels. Using a time course study of 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively, experimental assays to quantify osseointegration included micro-computed tomography (microCT), biomechanical testing, and histomorphometry. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING In-vivo ovine model. METHODS Twelve skeletally mature crossbred sheep were equally randomized into postoperative periods of 6 and 12 weeks. Four types of dowel implants-PEEK, titanium plasma-sprayed PEEK (TPS PEEK), titanium, and titanium plasma-sprayed titanium (TPS titanium) were implanted into cylindrical metaphyseal defects in the distal femurs and proximal humeri (one defect per limb, n=48 sites). Sixteen nonoperative specimens (eight femurs and eight humeri) served as zero time-point controls. Half of the specimens underwent destructive biomechanical pullout testing and the remaining half quantitative microCT to quantify circumferential bone volume within 1 mm and 2 mm of the implant surface and histomorphometry to compute direct trabecular apposition. RESULTS There were no intra- or perioperative complications. The TPS-coated implants demonstrated significantly higher peak loads at dowel pullout at 6 and 12 weeks compared with uncoated controls (p<.05). No differences were observed across dowel treatments at the zero time-point (p>.05). MicroCT results exhibited no significant differences in circumferential osseointegration between implants within 1 mm or 2 mm of the dowel surface (p>.05). Direct appositional osseointegration of trabecular bone based on histomorphometry was higher for TPS-coated groups, regardless of base material, compared with uncoated treatments at both time intervals (p<.05). CONCLUSIONS The current in vivo study demonstrated the biological and mechanical advantages of plasma spray coatings. TPS improved histological incorporation and peak force required for implant extraction. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Plasma spray coatings may offer clinical benefit by improving biological fixation and osseointegration within the first 6 to 12 weeks postoperatively- the critical healing period for implant-based arthrodesis procedures.

Abstract
A postextraction socket becomes a clinical challenge due to the fact that a series of changes associated with bone remodelling and resorption of the socket that occur after extraction, which limits the aesthetic and functional prognosis of implant-supported rehabilitations. It has been studied that the use of the autologous tooth-derived graft (ATDG) has regenerative properties and could therefore be useful for solving this type of problem. There is no consensus in the scientific literature on a standardized protocol for the use of the autologous tooth. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the most relevant parameters to achieve the best properties of ground ATDG using three methods, namely Gouge forceps, electric grinder, and manual, that made up the study group (SG) and compared with the control group (CG) consisting of Bio-Oss®. The sample obtained by the electric grinder had the highest value of specific surface area (2.4025 ± 0.0218 m2/g), while the particle size as average diameter (751.9 µm) was the lowest and most homogeneous of the three groups. Therefore, the electric grinder allowed for obtaining ATDG with more regenerative properties due to its specific surface-area value and particle size in accordance with the xenograft with the greatest bibliographical support (Bio-Oss®). The higher specific surface increases the reaction with the physiological media, producing faster biological mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective implant placement depends critically on the implant's level of osseointegration with the alveolar bone. To increase osseointegration during implant placement, research has concentrated on the surface modification of implants, and morphological analyses have looked at the thread pattern in close interaction with the bone's surface. AIM This study aimed to assess and compare the extent of oral implant osseointegration in different surface modification techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 12 healthy adult dogs aged 18-24 months were used. Tooth extractions were performed on both sides of the mandible, and wounds were closed with sutures. Two months later, the right mandible of each dog underwent local anesthesia and general anesthesia. Four different implant types were placed based on their surface treatments: resorbable blast media (RBM)-treated implants, hydroxyapatite (HA) implants with an ultra-thin HA film, hydrothermal-treated HA implants coated with HA, and sandblasting combined acid etching (SLA) implants treated with plasma spray and acid etching. A total of 48 implants were divided into two- and four-week groups, with identical dimensions. Each dog received two implants from each group, for a total of eight implants per dog. The implants were securely placed into the superior alveolar bone with a torque greater than 35-N up to a depth of 1 mm. Periotest M (Medizintechnik Gulden e.K., Modautal, Germany) was used to calculate the periotest value (PTV) as a typical value on the buccal side of each implant immediately following placement and sacrifice to test the main fixation and stability of the implants. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) was utilised by Osstell Mentor (Osstell AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) to simultaneously assess the implant stability quotient (ISQ) on the medial, distal, buccal, and lingual sides of the implant. The rotational torque in one of the sacrificed dogs was calculated using the MGT 50 (ELECTROMATIC Equipment Co., Inc., New York, USA) torque analyzer. The histomorphometric evaluation was performed using an optical microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The upper half's bone-implant contact (BIC), which was found to be more important for implant stability, was studied together with the ratio of the new bone formation area (NBFA) to the complete implant. RESULTS The maximum stability was observed in HA-treated implants in the fourth week. The minimum stability was observed in hydrothermal-treated HA implants in the fourth week. The stability in each group was greater in the four-week evaluation as compared to the two-week evaluation. The stability was satisfactory in almost all implants at two- and three-week evaluations. The maximum value of the percentage area of newly formed bone at the two- and four-week evaluations was observed in HA-treated implants. The minimum value of the percentage of the area of newly formed bone at two- and four-week evaluations was observed in SLA and RBM-treated implants respectively. The difference was significant statistically (p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSION All implant surface modifications, in general, produced satisfactory osseointegration. Excellent osseointegration was seen in the upper portion of the implant with hydrothermally treated HA.

Abstract
This study investigates the static and fatigue behavior of porous and conventional anterior cervical cages. Porous structure titanium anterior cervical cages were manufactured using direct selective laser sintering technique. Four different types of cervical cages were designed and manufactured, among which three designs consist of porous structure (type 1, type 2, and type 3) and manufactured using metal 3D printing. Remaining one design (type 4) was manufactured using conventional machining and did not consist any porous structure. All types of manufactured cages were tested in compression under static and fatigue loading conditions as per ASTM F2077 standard. Static and fatigue subsidence testing was performed using ASTM F2267 standard. Static compression testing results of type 1 and type 4 cages reported higher yield load when compared to the type 2 and type 3 cages. Static subsidence testing results reported almost 11% less subsidence rate for additively manufactured cages than the conventional cages. Fatigue subsidence testing results showed that type 2 and type 3 cages can withstood approximately 21% higher number of cycles before subsidence as compare to the type 1 and type 4 cages. During fatigue testing, all the cages design survived 5 million cycles at the 3000 N loading. For 6000 N and 8000 N, loading rate type 2 and type 3 cages showed lower fatigue life when compared to other cages design. Since fatigue life of type 2 and type 3 cage designs were reported lower than other cages design, it is concluded that the performance of the additively manufactured porous cages can be significantly varied based upon the cage design features.

Abstract
Mechanical properties of porous metal coatings in load-bearing implants play a critical role in determining the in vivo lifetime. However, there is a knowledge gap in measuring the shear strength of porous metal coatings at the porous-dense interface. This study evaluated pore morphology dependence and strut-size on compression, shear deformation, and in vitro response of additively manufactured porous Ti6Al4V structures. Selective laser melting (SLM)-based additive manufacturing (AM) technique was used to process two types of structures with honeycomb cell design-one with constant cell-size of ∼470 μm with mean strut-size varying from 92 to 134 μm, and denoted as strut-size variation (SSV); and the other with a constant strut-size of ∼135 μm with mean cell-size varying from 580 to 740 μm, denoted as cell-size variation (CSV). It was observed that under compressive loading, changes in elastic modulus were more sensitive to variations in strut-size over cell-size. Under shear loading at the porous-dense interface, strength enhancement and material hardening were observed in both SSV and CSV samples due to pore-collapsing. Our results show that for hexagonal cell designs, shear behavior is more sensitive to variations in cell-size over strut-size, although elastic modulus is more sensitive to changes in strut-size for porous metallic structures. From in vitro hFOB analysis, it was observed that pore size of 670 μm demonstrated the highest osteoblast cell viability among porous structures with evidence of pore-bridging by cells. P. aeruginosa bacterial culture showed that bacterial cell viability was higher for porous structures than dense Ti, with evidence of pore-bridging by bacterial cells.

Abstract
In implant research, a central objective is to optimize the osseous integration of implants according to their function and scope of application. In the preclinical stage, the animal model is commonly used to study implants for in vivo host tissue response and biomechanical tests are a frequently applied method for characterization of contact phenomena. However, the individual parameters and options for both the animal model and the biomechanical test arrangements vary widely, which can negatively affect the reliability and comparability of the results. In the present method description, we focus on implants for trabecular bone replacement and outline differentiated considerations for optimizing the animal model and the biomechanical test arrangement best suited for the area of application described. In addition, our aim was to present an optimized and strict study protocol for biomechanical push-out tests and step-by-step instructions in order to achieve precise and comparable results.The rabbit model and the distal femur as an implantation site are ideal for biomechanical assessment of implant osseointegration. Push-out tests are recommended, in which conformity of the axis is mandatory. Sequential examination periods are beneficial, e.g. after 4 weeks for osseohealing and after 12 weeks for osseoremodeling.

Abstract
Ca-P coatings on Ti implants have demonstrated good osseointegration capability due to their similarity to bone mineral matter. Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) were searched electronically in February 2021 for preclinical studies in unmodified experimental animals, with at least four weeks of follow-up, measuring bone-to-implant contact (BIC). Although 107 studies were found in the initial search, only eight experimental preclinical studies were included. Adverse events were selected by two independent investigators. The risk of bias assessment of the selected studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration Tool. Finally, a meta-analysis of the results found no statistical significance between implants coated with Ca-P and implants with etched conventional surfaces (difference of means, random effects: 5.40; 99% CI: -5.85, 16.65). With the limitations of the present review, Ca-P-coated Ti surfaces have similar osseointegration performance to conventional etched surfaces. Future well-designed studies with large samples are required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) was used to create hydrophilic surface profiles on titanium. The wettability, surface morphology characteristics and chemical composition of the treated samples were studied as a function of EPP processing parameters. The EPP profiled surfaces comprised of a characteristic "hills and valleys" morphology because of continuous surface melting and freezing cycles. A bimodal surface profile was produced with 2-3 μm height hills and valleys with nano-roughness (≤200 nm). The produced profile resulted in a significant contact angle decrease (from 38.7° to 5.4°). Ratios of actual surface area to projection area (r) and fraction of solid surface remaining dry (φ) were obtained from profilometry. The surface characteristics and large r values produced by EPP were able to induce hemi-wicking. Hence, EPP produced superhydrophilic surfaces on Ti. The bioactivity of EPP treated Ti was evaluated using cell free and MC3T3 cells in-vitro studies. The treated Ti surface significantly increased the bioactivity and formed stoichiometric hydroxyapatite after immersion in a bone cell culture medium for 21 days. Cells' attachment and proliferation studies indicated that EPP treated surface significantly enhances the cells' adhesion and growth after 24 and 48 h compared to the untreated surface. The results show that Ti surface profiling by EPP constitutes a promising method to potentially improve bone implant bonding.

Abstract
Cervical degenerative disease is a common and frequently occurring disease, which seriously affects the health and quality of the life of patients worldwide. Anterior cervical decompression and interbody fusion is currently recognized as the gold standard for the treatment of degenerative cervical spondylosis. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has become the prevailing material for cervical fusion surgery. Although PEEK has excellent biocompatibility, it is difficult to form bone connection at its bone-implant interface due to its low surface hydrophilicity and conductivity. It is widely accepted that Ti has excellent osteogenic activity and biocompatibility. In this study, a Ti-PEEK composite cage was prepared by coating Ti on the surface of a PEEK cage using a vacuum plasma spraying technique to enhance the osteogenic property of PEEK. The Ti-PEEK samples were evaluated in terms of their in vitro cellular behaviors and in vivo osteointegration, and the results were compared to a pure PEEK substrate. The skeleton staining and MTS assay indicated that the MC3T3-E1 cells spread and grew well on the surface of Ti-PEEK cages. The osteogenic gene expression and western blot analysis of osteogenic protein showed upregulated bone-forming activity of MC3T3-E1 cells in Ti-PEEK cages. Furthermore, a significant increase in new bone formation was demonstrated on Ti-PEEK implants in comparison with PEEK implants at 12 weeks in a sheep cervical spine fusion test. These results proved that the Ti-PEEK cage exhibited enhanced osseointegrative properties compared to the PEEK cage both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare implant osseointegration with calcium phosphate (CaP) surfaces and rough subtractive-treated sandblasted/acid etched surfaces (SA) in an in vivo minipig mandible model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 cylindrical press-fit implants with two different surfaces (CaP, n = 18; SA, n = 18) were inserted bilaterally into the mandible of 9 adult female minipigs. After 2, 4, and 8 weeks, we analyzed the cortical bone-to-implant contact (cBIC; %) and area coverage of bone-to-implant contact within representative bone chambers (aBIC; %). RESULTS After 2 weeks, CaP implants showed no significant increase in cBIC and aBIC compared to SA (cBIC: mean 38 ± 5 vs. 16 ± 11%; aBIC: mean 21 ± 1 vs. 6 ± 9%). Two CaP implants failed to achieve osseointegration. After 4 weeks, no statistical difference between CaP and SA was seen for cBIC (mean 54 ± 15 vs. 43 ± 16%) and aBIC (mean 43 ± 28 vs. 32 ± 6). However, we excluded two implants in each group due to failure of osseointegration. After 8 weeks, we observed no significant intergroup differences (cBIC: 18 ± 9 vs. 18 ± 20%; aBIC: 13 ± 8 vs. 16 ± 9%). Again, three CaP implants and two SA implants had to be excluded due to failure of osseointegration. CONCLUSION Due to multiple implant losses, we cannot recommend the oral mandibular minipig in vivo model for future endosseous implant research. Considering the higher rate of osseointegration failure, CaP coatings may provide an alternative to common subtractive implant surface modifications in the early phase post-insertion.

[PMID: 33348214 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2020.104282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Porosity in titanium alloy materials improves the bony integration and mechanical properties of implants. In certain areas of application such as vertebral spacers or trabecular bone replacement (e.g. wedge augmentation in prosthetics), surface structures are desirable that promote bone integration and have biomechanical properties that are resistant to intraosseous load transfers and at the same time resemble the stiffness of bone to possible reduce the risk of stress shielding. In the present study, we investigated the biomechanical push-out behavior of an open-porous Ti-6Al-4V material that was produced in a space-holder and sintering method creating a 3-D through-pores trabecular design that corresponds with the inhomogeneity and size relationships of trabecular bone. The short-term and mid-term effects of the material properties on osseointegration in a biomechanical push-out study were compared to those of to a conventional solid Ti-6Al-4V material. In order to raise the measurement accuracy we implemented a strict study protocol. Pairs of cylindrical implants with a porosity of 49% and an average pore diameter of 400 μm and equal sized solid, corundum blasted devices as reference were bilaterally implanted press fit in the lateral femoral condyles of 14 rabbits. After sacrifice at 4 and 12 weeks, a push-out test was performed while the test set-up was designed to ensure conformity of implant axes and direction of applied force. Maximum holding force, Young's modulus, and mode of failure were recorded. Results of maximum push-out force (F-max) revealed a significant material effect (p < 0.05) in favor of porous implants after 4 weeks of osseohealing (6.39 vs. 3.36 N/mm2) as well as after 12 weeks of osseoremodeling (7.58 vs. 4.99 N/mm2). Evaluation of the failure mode resulted in three different types of displacement characteristics, which revealed a different mechanism of osseous anchoring between the two types of implants and substantiate the F-max and Young's modulus results. Conclusively, the porous implant offers surface properties that significantly improve its osseous stability compared to solid material under experimental conditions. In addition, we have optimized our study protocol for biomechanical push-out tests to produce precise and comparable results.

Abstract
A great variety of powder metallurgy techniques can produce biomimetic porous titanium structures with similar mechanical properties to host bone tissue. In this work, loose sintering and space holder techniques, two frequently used metallurgical techniques, are compared to evaluate the influences of porosity (content, size, morphology and wall roughness), mechanical properties (stiffness and yield strength) and in-vitro cellular responses (adhesion and proliferation of myoblasts and osteoblasts). These comparisons are made to achieve the best balance between biomechanical and bifunctional behavior of a partial porous implant for cortical bone replacement. Cell adhesion (filopodia presence) and spreading were promoted on both porous surfaces and fully dense substrates (non-porous control surfaces). Porous scaffold samples designed using 50 vol.% NaCl space holder technique had an improved bioactive response over those obtained with the loose sintering technique due to higher roughness and scaffold pore diameter. However, the presence of large and heterogeneous pores compromises the mechanical reliability of the implant. Considering both scenarios, the substrates obtained with 40 vol.% NH4HCO3 and pore size ranges between 100 and 200 μm provide a balanced optimization of size and strength to promote in-vitro osseointegration.

Abstract
The characterization of regenerated articular cartilage (AC) can be based on various methods, as there is an unambiguous accepted criterion neither for the natural cartilage tissue nor for regenerates. Biomechanical aspects should be considered as well, leading to the need for more equivalent samples. The aim of the study was to describe a large animal model where 8 specimens of regenerated AC can be created in one animal plus the impact of two surgeries on the welfare of the animals. The usefulness of the inclusion of a group of untreated animals (NAT) was to analyzed. Based on the histological results the conditions of the regenerates were to be described and the impact on knee joints were to be explored in terms of degenerative changes of the cartilage. The usefulness of the statistical term “effect size” (ES) will be explained with histological results. We analyzed an animal model where 8 AC regenerates were obtained from one Göttingen Minipig, on both sides of the trochleae. 60 animals were divided into 6 groups of 10 each, where the partial thickness defects in the trochlea were filled with matrices made of Collagen I with or without autologous chondrocytes or left empty over the healing periods of 24 and 48 weeks. One additional control group consisting of 10 untreated animals was used to provide untouched “external” cartilage. We harvested 560 samples of regenerated tissue and “external” controls, besides that, twice the number of further samples from other parts of the joints referred to as “internal” controls were also harvested. The animals recovered faster after the 1st operation when the defects were set compared to the 2nd operation when the defects were treated. 9% of all animals were lost. Other complications were for example superficial infections, seroma, diarrhea, febrile state and an injury of a claw. The histological results of the treatments proved the robustness of the study design where we included an “external” control group (NAT) in which the animals were not operated. Comparable significant differences between treated groups and the NAT group were detected both after ½ year and after 1 year. Spontaneous regenerated AC as control revealed differences after an observation time of nearly 1 year. The impact of the treatment on cartilage adjacent to the defect as well as the remaining knee joint was low. The ES was helpful for planning the study as it is shown that the power of a statistical comparison seems to be more influenced by the ES than by the sample size. The ranking of the ES was done exemplarily, listing the results according to their magnitude, thus making the results comparable. We were able to follow the 3 R requirements also in terms of a numerical reduction of animals due to the introduction of a group of untreated animals. This makes the model cost effective. The presented study may contribute as an improvement of the standardization of large animal models for research and regulatory requirements for regenerative therapies of AC.

Bioactive coating of zirconia toughened alumina ceramic implants improves cancellous osseointegration. Sci Rep 2019; 9:16692.

Abstract
Bioactive coatings have the potential to improve the bony integration of mechanically loaded orthopedic ceramic implants. Using the concept of mimicking the natural bone surface, four different coatings of varying thickness on a zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramic implant were investigated regarding their osseointegration in a drill-hole model in sheep. The hypothesis that a bioactive coating of ZTA ceramics would facilitate cancellous bone integration was investigated. The bioactive coatings consisted of either a layer of covalently bound multi phosphonate molecules (chemical modification = CM), a nano hydoxyapatite coating (HA), or two different bioactive glass (BG) coatings in micrometer thickness, forming a hydroxyl-carbonate apatite layer on the implant surface in vivo (dip-coated 45S5 = DipBG; sol-gel 70S30C = SGBG). Coated surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After 12 weeks, osseointegration was evaluated via mechanical push-out testing and histology. HA enhanced the maximum push-out force (HA: mean 3573.85 ± 1119.91 N; SGBG: mean 1691.57 ± 986.76 N; p = 0.046), adhesive shear strength (HA: mean 9.82 ± 2.89 MPA; SGBG: mean 4.57 ± 2.65 MPA; p = 0.025), and energy release rate (HA: mean 3821.95 ± 1474.13 J/mm2; SGBG: mean 1558.47 ± 923.47 J/mm2; p = 0.032) compared to SGBG. The implant-bone interfacial stiffness increased by CM compared to SGBG coating (CM: mean 6258.06 ± 603.80 N/mm; SGBG: mean 3565.57 ± 1705.31 n/mm; p = 0.038). Reduced mechanical osseointegration of SGBG coated implants could be explained histologically by a foreign body reaction surrounding the implants.

Abstract
The main goal of this work was to investigate the effects of implants coatings' mechanical properties and morphology on the osseointegration. In order to produce different mechanical properties of coatings, two thermal spray techniques, high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and air plasma spray (APS) were employed. Titanium pins were coated and implanted into the distal femurs and proximal tibias of fifteen New Zealand white rabbits, equally distributed in three study groups, and a total of 20 pins implanted in each group. Eight weeks after insertion, the rabbits were euthanized and the femur samples were taken out for biomechanical tests and tibia samples for histological evaluations of osseointegration. Scanning electron microscopy results showed enhanced density and a better morphology of HVOF coatings, compared to APS samples, and X-ray diffraction characterized an enhanced crystallinity of HVOF coatings. Nanoindentation tests revealed greater hardness and elastic modulus of HVOF coatings, whereas greater tensile residual stress and more pronounced creep was observed for APS coatings. Neither in biomechanical tests, nor in the histological analyses, a significant difference was observed between HVOF and APS coated samples (p > 0.05, and p > 0.05, respectively). The lack of significant difference between the HVOF and APS coated implants' osseointegration rejected our hypothesis to have a more enhanced osseointegration due to a better morphology, as well as stronger mechanical properties of HA coatings. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Purpose Spinal interbody fusion cages are designed to provide immediate stabilization for adjoining vertebrae and ideally enable bony ingrowth to achieve successful integration. For such an implant, cells must be able to attach, move, grow, and differentiate on its surface. These cellular interactions are dependent on how the implant surface enables the coating and binding of blood and tissue fluid proteins that support cell adhesion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo osteoblast cell–implant surface interactions that result in osseointegration onto a surface composed of plasma-sprayed titanium on a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) substrate or titanium-coated PEEK (Ti-PEEK) (PlasmaporeXP®) as compared to uncoated PEEK implants. Materials and methods The influence of the Ti-PEEK surface modification on the biochemical, biomechanical, and histological properties at the bone–implant interface is demonstrated both in vitro using simulated bone-forming cell culture experiments and in vivo using a 12- and 24-week ovine implant model. Results Osteoblast-like cells attached to the Ti-PEEK surface upregulated early bone-forming activity as measured by an increase in transcription and translation of ALP and BMP-2 when compared to cells on PEEK. Similarly, a significant increase in new bone formation, bony apposition, and pullout strength was demonstrated on Ti-PEEK implants when compared to PEEK implants at 12 and 24 weeks in an ovine implant in vivo model. Conclusion The study shows that the Ti-PEEK surface demonstrated enhanced osseointegrative properties compared to PEEK both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone morphogenetic proteins play an important role as osseointegrative factors. It is used widely in orthopedic research and surgery to enhance the osseointegrative potential of implants, e.g., in spinal fusion or alveolar socket augmentation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the benefit of rhBMP-2 on a titan plasma spray (TPS) layer after a special modification with chromosulfuric acid (CSA) at different postoperative times, regarding osseoconduction and osseoinduction. METHODS We allocated 27 Göttinger minipigs into three groups consisting of nine animals each. They received four dumbbell-shaped implants in the metaphyseal parts of the femora. The implants had a TPS surface with (CSA group) and without a CSA treatment (TPS group). The former received an additional layer of BMP-2 (BMP-2 group). For the assessment of osseointegration after healing periods of 4, 8, and 12 weeks, histomorphometry was applied to undecalcified specimens after staining according to Masson-Goldner. An intravital labeling with different fluorochromes was used in the gap model. A multivariable analysis with repeated measurement design was performed for statistical evaluation. RESULTS We observed several statistical differences in a three-way ANOVA. The comparison between the BMP-2 and the TPS group (two-way ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences in terms of the osseoinduction (osteoid volume), and pronounced for the osseoconduction (bone and osteoid ongrowth), in favor of the BMP-2 group. In the pairwise comparison between BMP-2 and CSA (two-way ANOVA), no statistical significance occurred. The intravital staining with tetracycline, calcein green, and xylenol orange revealed no considerable differences between the groups. CONCLUSION BMP-2, covalently bound on a CSA-treated TPS surface, has positive effects on the osseointegration in the large animal bone gap-healing model over the observation period of 12 weeks.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare data on the volume fraction of bone and the thickness of the cortical compact bone acquired during microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis with data acquired from identical samples using stereological analysis of either decalcified paraffin sections or ground sections. Additionally, we aimed to compare adjacent tissue samples taken from the major trochanter of the porcine femur to map the basic biological variability of trabecular bone. Fifteen pairs of adjacent tissue blocks were removed from the major trochanter of the proximal epiphyses of porcine femurs (female pigs aged 24-39 months, weight=59.16±8.15kg). In each sample, the volume of the cortical compact bone, the volume of the trabecular bone, and the thickness of the cortical compact bone was assessed using micro-CT. Afterwards, half of the samples were decalcified and processed using paraffin histological sections. Another half was processed into ground sections. The volume and thickness of bone was assessed in histological sections using stereological techniques. There were no significant differences in the bone volumes and thicknesses measured by micro-CT and the corresponding values quantified in decalcified sections. Similarly, there were no differences between the results from micro-CT and the analysis of the corresponding ground sections. Histomorphometric studies based on relatively low numbers of undecalcified ground sections or demineralized paraffin sections of bone yield data on bone volume and the thickness of cortical compact bone that is comparable with three-dimensional micro-CT examination. The pilot data on the variability of cortical compact bone and trabecular bone volumes in the porcine major trochanter provided in this study aim for planning experiments in the field of bone healing and implantology.

Abstract
Conventional corrective osteotomy surgery is based on 2-D imaging for planning and evaluation of bone positioning. In this feasibility study we propose and evaluate the use of 3-D preoperative planning and design of a custom rimmed wedge to be inserted into the osteotomy gap. The shape of the wedge provides 3-D bone positioning as planned, while the rims keep the bone segments in place. The method is evaluated experimentally using 3-D printed radii specimens of five different malunion patients, as well as in a human cadaver specimen. Positioning was accurate and reproducible showing residual displacements along the x-, y- and z-axes of (mean ± SD): (-0.19 ± 0.75, 0.38 ± 1.09, and 0.47 ± 0.48) mm and residual rotations about these axes of (mean ± SD): (-1.22 ± 1.66, -0.40 ± 0.93, and -0.33 ± 1.50)° for artificial bone specimens. The cadaver experiment showed similar displacements along the x-, y- and z-axes (-0.17, 1.11, and -0.35) mm and residual rotations about these axes (-2.93, -1.53, and 2.31)°. Positioning by inserting a rimmed wedge in corrective osteotomy surgery is accurate with residual errors comparable to bilateral differences. The method seems promising for future utilization in corrective osteotomy surgery and may ultimately render the procedure minimally invasive.

Abstract
Total joint replacement (TJR), such as hip and knee replacement, is a popular procedure worldwide. Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) after this procedure have been widely reported, where treatment of such infections is complex with high cost and prolonged hospital stay. In cemented arthroplasties, the use of antibiotic loaded bone cement (ALBC) is a standard practice for the prophylaxis and treatment of PJI. Recently, the development of bacterial resistance by pathogenic microorganisms against most commonly used antibiotics increased the interest in alternative approaches for antimicrobial delivery systems such as nanotechnology. This review summarizes the efforts made to improve the antimicrobial properties of PMMA bone cements using nanotechnology based antibiotic and non-antibiotic delivery systems to overcome drawbacks of ALBC in the prophylaxis and treatment of PJIs after hip and knee replacement.

Abstract
Coating poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) with rough and porous titanium plasma spray (TPS) coatings is a technique which is commonly used to enhance the osseointegrative properties of medical implants. However, the influence of the TPS coating on the PEEK mechanical properties has not been sufficiently evaluated to date. In this study, PEEK samples were coated with a thick TPS layer with grains of 90µm and 180µm diameter. The coating characteristics and the adhesive strength of the coatings on the samples were determined and compared to coatings on titanium samples. The influence of the coating process on the mechanical and chemical-physical properties of PEEK was also evaluated. All TPS coatings on PEEK and titanium fulfilled the manufacturer's requirements for thickness (200 ± 50µm), porosity (30 ± 10%) and roughness (90µm grain diameter coating: 25 ± 5µm and 180µm grain diameter coating: 45 ± 15µm) and were able to meet the demands required for adhesive strength (> 22MPa) and shear strength (> 20MPa). However, the mechanical properties i.e. yield stress, fracture strain, flexural modulus and flexural stress, of the PEEK samples were influenced by the coating process, while the chemical-physical properties were not altered.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based ceramics are the most widely applied synthetic biomaterials for repair and regeneration of damaged and diseased bone. CaP bioactivity is regulated by a set of largely intertwined physico-chemical and structural properties, such as the surface microstructure, surface energy, porosity, chemical composition, crystallinity and stiffness. Unravelling the role of each individual property in the interaction between the biomaterial and the biological system is a prerequisite for evolving from a trial-and-error approach to a design-driven approach in the development of new functional biomaterials. This progress report critically reviews various strategies developed to decouple the roles of the individual material properties in the biological performance of CaP ceramics. It furthermore emphasizes on the importance of a comprehensive and adequate material characterization that is needed to enhance our knowledge of the property-function relationship of biomaterials used in bone regeneration, and in regenerative medicine in general.

Abstract
Due to its relatively low level of antigenicity and high durability, titanium has successfully been used as the major material for biological implants. However, because the typical interface between titanium and tissue precludes adequate transmission of load into the surrounding bone, over time, load-bearing implants tend to loosen and revision surgeries are required. Osseointegration of titanium implants requires presentation of both biological and mechanical cues that promote attachment of and trigger mineral deposition by osteoblasts. While many factors contribute to differentiation, the relative importance of the various cues is unclear. To substantially improve osseointegration of titanium implants, we generated a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) scaffold, using an extrusion-based 3D bioprinter, which can be directly printed on and grafted to the titanium implant surface. We demonstrate that this scaffold is able to trigger mineral deposition of both MG63 osteoblasts and primary normal human osteoblasts in the absence of any exogenous osteogenic factors. Films of the same formulation failed to promote mineral deposition suggesting that the three dimensional scaffold was able to tip the balance in favor of differentiation despite other potentially unfavorable differentiation cues of the material. We further show that these GelMA lattices can be directly grafted to titanium alloy and are secure in vitro over a period of seven weeks. When grafted within a groove system, the GelMA hydrogel is protected from shearing forces in a marrow implantation model. This prepares the way for osteogenic coatings to be directly manufactured on the implant surface and packaged for surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the impact of implant surface treatment on the stability and osseointegration of implants in dog mandibles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six adult dogs received a total of 48 implants that were prepared using four different surface treatments; resorbable blast media (RBM), hydroxyapatite (HA), hydrothermal-treated HA, and sand blasting and acid etching (SLA). Implants were installed, and dogs were separated into 2- and 4-week groups. Implant stability was evaluated via Periotest M, Osstell Mentor, and removal torque analyzers. A histomorphometric analysis was also performed. RESULTS The stability evaluation showed that all groups generally had satisfactory values. The histomorphometric evaluation via a light microscope revealed that the HA surface implant group had the highest ratio of new bone formation on the entire fixture. The hydrothermal-treated HA surface implant group showed a high ratio of bone-to-implant contact in the upper half of the implant area. CONCLUSION The hydrothermal-treated HA implant improved the bone-to-implant contact ratio on the upper fixture, which increased the implant stability.

Analysis of the osseointegrative force of a hyperhydrophilic and nanostructured surface refinement for TPS surfaces in a gap healing model with the Göttingen minipig. J Orthop Surg Res 2016; 11:119.

Abstract
Background A lot of advantages can result in a high wettability as well as a nanostructure at a titanium surface on bone implants. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegrative potential of a titan plasma-sprayed (TPS) surface refinement by acid-etching with chromosulfuric acid. This results in a hyperhydrophilic surface with a nanostructure and an extreme high wetting rate. Methods In total, 72 dumbbell shape titan implants were inserted in the spongy bone of the femora of 18 Göttingen minipigs in a conservative gap model. Thirty-six titan implants were coated with a standard TPS surface and 36 with the hyperhydrophilic chromosulfuric acid (CSA) surface. After a healing period of 4, 8, and 12 weeks, the animals were killed. The chronological healing process was histomorphometrically analyzed. Results The de novo bone formation, represented by the bone area (BA), is increased by approximately 1.5 times after 12 weeks with little additional benefit by use of the CSA surface. The bone-to-implant contact (BIC), which represents osseoconductive forces, shows results with a highly increased osteoid production in the CSA implants beginning at 8 and 12 weeks compared to TPS. This culminates in a 17-fold increase in BIC after a healing period of 12 weeks. After 4 weeks, significantly more osteoid was seen in the gap as de novo formation in the CSA group (p = 0.0062). Osteoid was also found more frequently after 12 weeks at the CSA-treated surface (p = 0.0355). The site of implantation, intertrochanteric or intercondylar, may influence on the de novo bone formation in the gap. Conclusions There is a benefit by the CSA surface treatment of the TPS layer for osseointegration over an observation time up to 12 weeks. Significant differences were able to be shown in two direct comparisons between the CSA and the TPS surface for osteoid formation in the gap model. Further trials may reveal the benefit of the CSA treatment of the TPS layer involving mechanical tests if possible.

Three-Dimensional Analysis of the Contact Pattern between the Cortical Bone and Femoral Prosthesis after Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty. Adv Orthop 2016; 2016:8052380.

Abstract
The cementless stem Excia (B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany) implant has a rectangular cross-sectional shape with back-and-forth flanges and a plasma-sprayed, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate coating from the middle to proximal portion to increase initial fixation and early bone formation. Here, the conformity of the Excia stem to the femoral canal morphology was three-dimensionally assessed using computed tomography. Forty-three patients (45 hips) were examined after primary total hip arthroplasty with a mean follow-up of 27 ± 3 months (range: 24–36 months). Spot welds occurred at zone 2 in 16 hips and at zone 6 in 24 hips, with 83% (20/24 hips) of those occurring within 3 months after surgery. First- (n = 12 hips), second- (n = 32), and third- (n = 1) degree stress shielding were observed. The stem was typically in contact with the cortical bone in the anterolateral mid-portion (100%) and posteromedial distal portions (85%). Stress shielding did not progress, even in cases where the stems were in contact with the distal portions. The anterior flange was in contact with the bone in all cases. The stability of the mid-lateral portion with the dicalcium phosphate dihydrate coating and the anterior flange may have inhibited the progression of stress shielding beyond the second degree.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the effect of human parathyroid hormone (1-34) (PTH) or strontium-doped hydroxyapatite coating (Sr-HA) on osteoporotic bone implantation. However, reports about effects of PTH plus Sr-HA on bone osseointegration of titanium implants in a state of osteoporosis were limited. This study was designed to investigate the effects of intermittent administration of human parathyroid hormone (1-34) on strontium-doped hydroxyapatite coating (Sr-HA) implant fixation in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy, all animals were randomly divided into four groups including control group, Sr group, PTH group and PTH+Sr group. Forty OVX rats accepted implant insertion in the distal femurs, control group, and PTH group with HA implants and the Sr group and PTH+Sr group with Sr-HA implants. Animals from PTH group and PTH+Sr group then randomly received PTH (60 µg/kg, 3 times a week) until death at 12 weeks. After 12-week healing period, implants from group PTH+Sr revealed improved osseointegration compared with other treatment groups, which is manifested by the exceeding increase of bone area ratio and bone-to-implant contact, the trabecular microarchitecture and the maximal push-out force displayed by tests like histomorphometry, micro-CT, and biomechanics evaluation. These results demonstrated that PTH+ Sr-HA coatings could enhance implant osseointegration in OVX rats, and suggested the feasibility of using this method to improve implant fixation in osteoporotic bone.

Abstract
Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of paramount importance for the clinical success. In view of the fact that a limited amount of materials appear to be tolerated by living organisms, a special discipline called surface engineering was developed to initiate the desirable changes to the exterior properties of various materials but still maintaining their useful bulk performances. In 1975, this approach resulted in the introduction of a special class of artificial bone grafts, composed of various mechanically stable (consequently, suitable for load bearing applications) implantable biomaterials and/or bio-devices covered by calcium orthophosphates (CaPO4) to both improve biocompatibility and provide an adequate bonding to the adjacent bones. Over 5000 publications on this topic were published since then. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the available literature has been performed and about 50 (this number is doubled, if all possible modifications are counted) deposition techniques of CaPO4 have been revealed, systematized and described. These CaPO4 deposits (coatings, films and layers) used to improve the surface properties of various types of artificial implants are the topic of this review.

Abstract
Surface modification techniques have been applied to generate titanium implant surfaces that promote osseointegration for use in dental applications. In this study, strontium-doped brushite coatings were deposited on titanium by electrochemical deposition. The phase composition of the coating was investigated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The surface morphologies of the coatings were studied through scanning electron microscopy, and the cytocompatibility and bioactivity of the strontium-doped brushite coatings were evaluated using cultured osteoblasts. Osteoblast proliferation was enhanced by the addition of strontium, suggesting a possible mechanism by which strontium incorporation in brushite coatings increased bone formation surrounding the implants. Cell growth was also strongly influenced by the composition of the deposited coatings, with a 10% Sr-doped brushite coating inducing the greatest amount of bone formation among the tested materials.

Abstract
A systematic analysis of results available from in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials on the effects of biocompatible calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings is presented. An overview of the most frequently used methods to prepare CaP-based coatings was conducted. Dense, homogeneous, highly adherent and biocompatible CaP or hybrid organic/inorganic CaP coatings with tailored properties can be deposited. It has been demonstrated that CaP coatings have a significant effect on the bone regeneration process. In vitro experiments using different cells (e.g. SaOS-2, human mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblast-like cells) have revealed that CaP coatings enhance cellular adhesion, proliferation and differentiation to promote bone regeneration. However, in vivo, the exact mechanism of osteogenesis in response to CaP coatings is unclear; indeed, there are conflicting reports of the effectiveness of CaP coatings, with results ranging from highly effective to no significant or even negative effects. This review therefore highlights progress in CaP coatings for orthopaedic implants and discusses the future research and use of these devices. Currently, an exciting area of research is in bioactive hybrid composite CaP-based coatings containing both inorganic (CaP coating) and organic (collagen, bone morphogenetic proteins, arginylglycylaspartic acid etc.) components with the aim of promoting tissue ingrowth and vascularization. Further investigations are necessary to reveal the relative influences of implant design, surgical procedure, and coating characteristics (thickness, structure, topography, porosity, wettability etc.) on the long-term clinical effects of hybrid CaP coatings. In addition to commercially available plasma spraying, other effective routes for the fabrication of hybrid CaP coatings for clinical use still need to be determined and current progress is discussed.

Abstract
Knowledge of local bone quality is essential for surgeons to determine operation techniques. A device for intraoperative measurement of local bone quality has been developed by the AO-Research Foundation (Densi - Probe®). We used this device to experimentally measure peak breakaway torque of trabecular bone in the proximal femur and correlated this with local bone mineral density (BMD) and failure load. Bone mineral density of 160 cadaver femurs was measured by ex situ dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry. The failure load of all femurs was analyzed by side-impact analysis. Femur fractures were fixed and mechanical peak torque was measured with the DensiProbe® device. Correlation was calculated whereas correlation coefficient and significance was calculated by Fisher’s Ztransformation. Moreover, linear regression analysis was carried out. The unpaired Student’s t-test was used to assess the significance of differences. The Ward triangle region had the lowest BMD with 0.511 g/cm2 (±0.17 g/cm2), followed by the upper neck region with 0.546 g/cm2 (±0.16 g/cm2), trochanteric region with 0.685 g/cm2 (±0.19 g/cm2) and the femoral neck with 0.813 g/cm2 (±0.2 g/cm2). Peak torque of DensiProbe® in the femoral head was 3.48 Nm (±2.34 Nm). Load to failure was 4050.2 N (±1586.7 N). The highest correlation of peak torque measured by Densi Probe® and load to failure was found in the femoral neck (r=0.64, P<0.001). The overall correlation of mechanical peak torque with T-score was r=0.60 (P<0.001). A correlation was found between mechanical peak torque, load to failure of bone and BMD in vitro. Trabecular strength of bone and bone mineral density are different aspects of bone strength, but a correlation was found between them. Mechanical peak torque as measured may contribute additional information about bone strength, especially in the perioperative testing.

Abstract
"Biomimetic" inorganic coating on biomaterials has been an active area of research with the aim of providing bioactive surfaces that can regulate cell behavior. Previous studies have demonstrated that human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) behavior is differentially regulated by the physical and chemical properties of inorganic mineral coatings, indicating that modulation of mineral properties is potentially important in regulating hMSC behavior. However, the lack of an efficient experimental context, in which to study stem cell behavior on inorganic substrates, has made it difficult to systematically study the effects of specific mineral coating parameters on hMSC behavior. In this study, we developed an efficient experimental platform to screen for the effects of mineral coating morphology on hMSC expansion and differentiation. hMSC expansion on mineral coatings was regulated by the micro-scale morphology of these coatings, with greater expansion on small granule-like coatings when compared to plate-like or net-like coatings. In contrast, hMSC osteogenic differentiation was inversely correlated with cell expansion on mineral coatings indicating that mineral coating morphology was a key parameter that regulates hMSC differentiation. The effect of mineral coating morphology on hMSC behavior underlines the utility of this inorganic screening platform to identify optimal coatings for medical devices and bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Surface topography plays a crucial role in influencing cellular responses and has therefore been utilized in the development of numerous implantable devices. Whilst numerous studies have either investigated cell attachment or migration post-attachment, few have looked at the early-stages of this process temporally. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of time-lapse microscopy to study the behaviour of fibroblasts cultured with polycaprolactone microfibres and to assess spatially and temporally the cell-structure interaction over a 24h period. Ordered polymeric structures were printed (predetermined) onto glass substrates using an electrohydrodynamic direct write process to produce fine (3-5 μm wide) structures. Fibroblast attachment and migration were characterized as a function of distance perpendicular from structures (∼17.3, 34.6 and 51.9 μm). The use of time-lapse microscopy revealed a gradual decrease in cell attachment as the distance from the microfibres was increased. The technique also revealed that some cells were attaching and detaching from the microfibre multiple times. Our findings demonstrate that time-lapse microscopy is a useful technique for evaluating early-stage cell-biomaterial interaction that is capable of recording important events that might otherwise be overlooked.

Abstract
In surgical disciplines, where bones have to be repaired, augmented or improved, bone substitutes are essential. Therefore, an interest has dramatically increased in application of synthetic bone grafts. As various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials always occur at the interfaces, the surface properties of the implants are of the paramount importance in determining both the biological response to implants and the material response to the physiological conditions. Hence, a surface engineering is aimed to modify both the biomaterials, themselves, and biological responses through introducing desirable changes to the surface properties of the implants but still maintaining their bulk mechanical properties. To fulfill these requirements, a special class of artificial bone grafts has been introduced in 1976. It is composed of various mechanically stable (therefore, suitable for load bearing applications) biomaterials and/or bio-devices with calcium orthophosphate coatings, films and layers on their surfaces to both improve interactions with the surrounding tissues and provide an adequate bonding to bones. Many production techniques of calcium orthophosphate coatings, films and layers have been already invented and new promising techniques are continuously investigated. These specialized coatings, films and layers used to improve the surface properties of various types of artificial implants are the topic of this review.

Abstract
Surface contaminants, such as bacterial debris and manufacturing residues, may remain on orthopedic implants after sterilization procedures and affect osseointegration. The goals of this study were to develop a murine model of osseointegration in order to determine whether removing surface contaminants enhances osseointegration. To develop the murine model, titanium alloy implants were implanted into a unicortical pilot hole in the mid-diaphysis of the femur and osseointegration was measured over a five week time course. Histology, backscatter scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy showed areas of bone in intimate physical contact with the implant, confirming osseointegration. Histomorphometric quantification of bone-to-implant contact and peri-implant bone and biomechanical pullout quantification of ultimate force, stiffness and work to failure increased significantly over time, also demonstrating successful osseointegration. We also found that a rigorous cleaning procedure significantly enhances bone-to-implant contact and biomechanical pullout measures by two-fold compared with implants that were autoclaved, as recommended by the manufacturer. The most likely interpretation of these results is that surface contaminants inhibit osseointegration. The results of this study justify the need for the development of better detection and removal techniques for contaminants on orthopedic implants and other medical devices.

Abstract
The main objectives of the study described below were of two-fold nature: (1) to examine if rhBMP-2-biocoated implants in a pig model could lead to ectopic bone formation and (2) if quantitative and/or qualitative differences could be found between adhesively and covalently bonded BMP II using the scintigraphic method. In order to examine these central questions, 26 Göttingen minipigs were allocated to three groups with a control group (n=7) and two study groups (n=9 each) receiving one of three implant types: (a) chromosulfuric acid treated titanium surface as control, (b) non-covalently bonded BMP-2, and (c) covalently bonded and immobilized rhBMP-2. Each animal received four barbell-shaped implants, one in the proximal and distal metaphysis of each femur. The scintigraphic analyses were conducted after four, eight, and 12 weeks postoperatively. The visual (qualitative) analysis failed to show ectopic bone formation in any of the three groups. The statistical analysis of the relative values for bone formation yielded no significant differences between the groups, although the limitation in the applied methods do not enable one to draw conclusions regarding the histomophometric results.

Abstract
The effects of a layer-by-layer assembled carbon nanotube composite (CNT-comp) on osteoblasts in vitro and bone tissue in vivo in rats were studied. The effects of CNT-comp on osteoblasts were compared against the effects by commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and tissue culture dishes. Cell proliferation on the CNT-comp and cpTi were similar. However, cell differentiation, measured by alkaline phosphatase activity and matrix mineralization, was better on the CNT-comp. When implanted in critical-sized rat calvarial defect, the CNT-comp permitted bone formation and bone repair without signs of rejection or inflammation. These data indicate that CNT-comp may be a promising substrate for use as a bone implant or as a scaffold for tissue engineering.
