Abstract
A The present overview describes various production techniques for biocompatible calcium orthophosphate (abbreviated as CaPO4) deposits (coatings, films and layers) on the surfaces of various types of substrates to impart the biocompatible properties for artificial bone grafts. Since, after being implanted, the grafts always interact with the surrounding biological tissues at the interfaces, their surface properties are considered critical to clinical success. Due to the limited number of materials that can be tolerated in vivo, a new specialty of surface engineering has been developed to desirably modify any unacceptable material surface characteristics while maintaining the useful bulk performance. In 1975, the development of this approach led to the emergence of a special class of artificial bone grafts, in which various mechanically stable (and thus suitable for load-bearing applications) implantable biomaterials and artificial devices were coated with CaPO4. Since then, more than 7500 papers have been published on this subject and more than 500 new publications are added annually. In this review, a comprehensive analysis of the available literature has been performed with the main goal of finding as many deposition techniques as possible and more than 60 methods (double that if all known modifications are counted) for producing CaPO4 deposits on various substrates have been systematically described. Thus, besides the introduction, general knowledge and terminology, this review consists of two unequal parts. The first (bigger) part is a comprehensive summary of the known CaPO4 deposition techniques both currently used and discontinued/underdeveloped ones with brief descriptions of their major physical and chemical principles coupled with the key process parameters (when possible) to inform readers of their existence and remind them of the unused ones. The second (smaller) part includes fleeting essays on the most important properties and current biomedical applications of the CaPO4 deposits with an indication of possible future developments.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is mainly located in the knee area. It is an important concern related to the population health, determined by the influence on the quality of life of patients. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with uncemented fixation is among the most encountered procedures performed in patients of a younger age. The present study investigated the response of patients (quality of life, mobility and pain management) with titanium/hydroxyapatite-coated implants with polyethylene inserts. A total of 57 patients with knee arthroplasty were studied with an average age of 54.1±4.9 years and 57.8% were females. The present study focused on the following aspects: The components of such a prosthesis and the way they contribute to a physiological fixation/recovery; how the implant surgery is performed; the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients; postoperative pain assessment in different types of movement; the management of the movement capacity 1 year after the surgery; and complications that may occur. One year after the surgery, these patients reported pain release, considerably favorable results in every-day activities, and good mobility (capable of using the car, rising from the bed or standing). Knowledge and accurate observation of the correct steps in performing this surgery and the role of the components of the prosthesis can lead to favorable therapeutic outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
As reconstructive needs often extend past the soft tissue alone, a plastic surgeon must also be well versed in the methods of bony reconstruction. Understanding of the basic science of fracture healing and the biochemical mechanisms of the different bone grafts, bone substitutes, and orthobiologics is essential to selecting among the many different options available to the modern plastic surgeon. This review provides a broad overview of these different options and the specific applications for plastic surgeons based on anatomic location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cement fixation of total knee components remains the gold standard despite resurgence in cementless fixation with the goal of long-term durable fixation. Initial stability is paramount to achieve bony ingrowth of cementless components. METHODS Twelve cemented and cementless tibial baseplates were implanted into sawbones and tested using a physiological medial-lateral load distribution for 10,000 cycles to represent 8 weeks of in vivo function. Micromotion was measured at 5 locations around the baseplate during loading. RESULTS Cycling had a significant effect on the change in micromotion between maximum and minimum loads at the anterior, medial, lateral, posteromedial, and posterolateral tray edge locations. A significant effect of fixation technique was detected for the anterior (P < .001), medial (P = .002), and lateral (P = .0056) locations but not for the posteromedial (P = .36) or posterolateral (P = .82) locations. Differences in micromotion between cemented and cementless components did not exceed 150 μm at any tested location. CONCLUSION The micromotion experienced by cementless tibial components in the present study may indicate a lower initial mechanical stability than the cemented group. However, this difference in initial stability may be subclinical because the differences between average cemented and cementless micromotion were <150 μm at all measured locations under the loading regime implemented.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip replacement is a successful procedure with long survival records compared to other joint arthroplasties. Cemented implants have been available for many years, however the complications associated with loosening and, ultimately, failure over time has led to the development of cementless stems and implants.The ideal prosthesis should recreate a biomechanically normal hip joint, allow pain-free function and last the patient's life span without requiring revision. Optimal results with uncemented femoral stems rely on obtaining initial stability, osseointegration, biological fixation, and uniform stress transfer to the proximal bone.There are a multitude of factors that can affect the integration, stability and fixation of these stems into bone, and understanding these factors is the key to choosing the appropriate implant for a specific femur. METHODS This article aims to discuss cementless prostheses based on evidence-based practice. Geometry, roughness, stem coating, technique and bone quality are among the factors discussed. This was achieved through a review of the current literature. CONCLUSIONS Uncemented femoral stems have shown good, long-term survivorship and functional outcome, with promising results in younger patients.Limitations in the current literature make it difficult to assess and compare different designs to determine optimal indications for each type.Biological fixation, in which the prosthesis is directly fixed to the bone, is the preferred fixation method.Future studies of cementless implants should consistently address patient age, activity level, bone type, and deformities so that more definitive conclusions can be drawn about when to use each design.

Abstract
HYAFF®11 is a biocompatible, biodegradable benzyl ester of hyaluronic acid. However, in order to use it for orthopedic application, its mechanical performance needs to be improved. In this study, a novel composite based on HYAFF®11 polymer matrix reinforced with hydroxylapatite (HA) has been developed. Its advantage is having a similar component of the mineral phase of bone resulting in favorable osteoconductive properties. The present study has examined the compressive mechanical and surface chemical-physical properties of the novel HYAFF®11-HA composite. Preliminary biological investigations, including pH and cytotoxicity studies of the material extracts, have also been performed using an in vitro primary human osteoblast-like cell model. Moreover, protein, especially fibronectin adsorption has been investigated following incubation in culture medium and human plasma. The results show a grainy surface topography composed mainly of C, P, and Ca, with a Ca/P atomic ratio indicating HA on the composite surface. Mechanical analysis shows an improvement of the compressive properties of HYAFF11 matrix, both in the dry and swollen states, with values in the range of that of spongy bone. No cytotoxic effects and no inhibition of cell proliferation have been observed in the presence of the material extracts with pH values within acceptable ranges for cell vitality. Protein studies reveal a similar pattern, but a higher amount of fibronectin following incubation in human plasma when compared with culture medium. The results show that the novel HYAFF®11-HA composite shows a great potential for application in orthopedic fields, especially as vertebral trabecular bone substitute.

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.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2015; 16:102. [PMID: 25927813 PMCID: PMC4423176 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-015-0560-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2014] [Accepted: 04/21/2015] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The increasing incidence of prosthesis revision surgery in the Western world has led to an increased focus on the capacity for stem removal. We previously reported on a femoral stem implanted in goats with an approximate 15% reduction in retention force by drilling longitudinally orientated grooves on the side of the stem. In this current study, we aimed to histologically evaluate the bony apposition towards this stem and correlate this apposition with the pullout force. Methods We analyzed the femora of 22 goats after stem removal. All stems remained in place for 6 months, and the goats were allowed regular loading of the hip during this time. For histological evaluation, all femora were immersed in EDTA and decalcified until sufficiently soft for standard technique preparation. We evaluated bone apposition, the presence of foreign particle debris and other factors. The apposition was evaluated with a scoring system based on semi-quantitative bone apposition in four quadrants. Kappa statistics were calculated for the score. We correlated the retention force with the amount of bone apposition. Results The stem drilling was the only significant factor influencing the retention force (p = 0.020). The bone apposition Kappa score comparing poor and good apposition scores was fair (κ = 0.4, 95% CI 0.00–0.88). Signs of foreign body reaction were noted in 5 of 22 goats. Conclusions Based on the current findings in an experimental goat model, it appears that the effect of drilling tissue/bone out of the longitudinal grooves has a more significant impact on the retention force required to remove the stem than the amount of bone apposition outside the stem grooves. This observation may be further explored in the research of stem designs that are potentially easier to remove.

Abstract
The preparation of organic-inorganic composite coatings with the purpose to increase the bioactivity of bioinert metal implants was investigated. As substrates, glass plates and rough titanium surfaces (Ti-SLA) were employed. The method comprises the deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMLs) followed by immersion of the coated substrate into a calcifying solution of low supersaturation (MCS). Single or mixed PEMLs were constructed from poly-L-lysine (PLL) alternating with poly-L-glutamate, (PGA), poly-L-aspartate (PAA), and/or chondroitin sulfate (CS). ATR-FTIR spectra reveal that (PLL/PGA)10 multilayers and mixed multilayers with a (PLL/PGA)5 base contain intermolecular β-sheet structures, which are absent in pure (PLL/PAA)10 and (PLL/CS)10 assemblies. All PEML coatings had a grainy topography with aggregate sizes and size distributions increasing in the order: (PLL/PGA)n < (PLL/PAA)n < (PLL/CS)n. In mixed multilayers with a (PLL/PGA)n base and a (PLL/PAA)n or (PLL/CS)n top, the aggregate sizes were greatly reduced. The PEMLs promoted calcium phosphate nucleation and early crystal growth, the intensity of the effect depending on the composition of the terminal layer(s) of the polymer. In contrast, crystal morphology and structure depended on the supersaturation, pH, and ionic strength of the MCS, rather than on the composition of the organic matrix. Crystals grown on both uncoated and coated substrates were mostly platelets of calcium deficient carbonate apatite, with the Ca/P ratio depending on the precipitation conditions.

Abstract
Background Since the introduction of uncemented hip implants, there has been a search for the best surface coating to enhance bone apposition in order to improve retention. The surface coating of the different stems varies between products. The aim was to assess the retention force and bone adaption in two differently coated stems in a weight-bearing goat model. Materials and methods Hydroxyapatite (HA) and electrochemically deposited calcium phosphate (CP; Bonit®) on geometrically comparable titanium-based femoral stems were implanted into 12 (CP group) and 35 (HA group) goats. The animal model included physiological loading of the implants for 6 months. The pull-out force of the stems was measured, and bone apposition was microscopically evaluated. Results After exclusion criteria were applied, the number of available goats was 4 in the CP group and 11 in the HA group. The CP-coated stems had significantly lower retention forces compared with the HA-coated ones after 6 months (CP median 47 N, HA median 1,696 N, p = 0.003). Bone sections revealed a lower degree of bone apposition in the CP-coated stems, with more connective tissue in the bone/implant interface compared with the HA group. Conclusion In this study, HA had better bone apposition and needed greater pull-out force in loaded implants. The application of CP on the loaded titanium surface to enhance the apposition of bone is questioned.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of femoral component revisions using a long tapered HA coated femoral revision stem. Between 2001 and 2008, 55 femoral component revisions were performed using this stem. Forty-one patients were available for follow up evaluation at average of 59 months. The clinical results were evaluated using the HHS and serial radiographs were evaluated for loosening. The mean HHS was 71 (range 22-100). Three hips required revision of KAR stem (1 aseptic loosening, 1 infection, 1 limb length discrepancy). Only one prosthesis demonstrated radiographic evidence of subsidence. Our study suggests that long tapered HA coated revision femoral components can provide stable fixation and in-growth in cases where there is good proximal femoral bone stock and favorable canal geometry.

Abstract
Coatings of orthopedic implants are investigated to improve the osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of the implant surfaces and thus to enhance periimplant bone formation. By applying coatings that mimic the extracellular matrix a favorable environment for osteoblasts, osteoclasts and their progenitor cells is provided to promote early and strong fixation of implants. It is known that the early bone ongrowth increases primary implant fixation and reduces the risk of implant failure. This review presents an overview of coating titanium and hydroxyapatite implants with components of the extracellular matrix like collagen type I, chondroitin sulfate and RGD peptide in different small and large animal models. The influence of these components on cells, the inflammation process, new bone formation and bone/implant contact is summarized.

Abstract
We assess 254 consecutive primary total hip replacements (THRs) using a fully hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated stem and socket (Furlong; JRI, London, UK). Minimum follow-up was 10 years. Harris hip score (HHS) increased from 49.8 preoperatively to 86.2 at follow-up. The most remarkable clinical finding was the near absence of thigh pain. After 10 years of follow-up, all stems met stability criteria and none needed revision for aseptic loosening. Three cups (1.2%) were revised for aseptic loosening. Two more cups were revised for recidivant dislocation. Varus placement of the femoral stem was present in 63 hips (24.8%) and valgus in 13 hips (5%). None of these technical defects showed radiologic progression, and there was no measurable correlation between them and the clinical score. Intraoperative femoral fractures occurred in 25 cases (9.8%) with no further influence on implant evolution. These findings strongly support the use of the JRI Furlong system for primary THR because it provides excellent clinical and radiologic results, with 0% and 1.2% cup and stem aseptic loosening, respectively, at 10 years. In addition, its tolerance to technical implantation defects makes it suitable even for less experienced hip surgeons.

Abstract
As a result of reading this article, physicians should be able to :1. Understand the rationale behind using uncemented fixation in total knee arthroplasty.2.Discuss the current literature comparing cemented and uncemented total knee arthroplasty3. Describe the value of radiostereographic analysis in assessing implant stability.4. Appreciate the limitations in the available literature advocating 1 mode of fixation in total knee arthroplasty. Total knee arthroplasty performed worldwide uses either cemented, cementless, or hybrid (cementless femur with a cemented tibia) fixation of the components. No recent literature review concerning the outcomes of cemented vs noncemented components has been performed. Noncemented components offer the potential advantage of a biologic interface between the bone and implants, which could demonstrate the greatest advantage in long-term durable fixation in the follow-up of young patients undergoing arthroplasty. Several advances have been made in the backing of the tibial components that have not been available long enough to yield long-term comparative follow-up studies. Short-term radiostereographic analysis studies have yielded differing results. Although long-term, high-quality studies are still needed, material advances in biologic fixation surfaces, such as trabecular metal and hydroxyapatite, may offer promising results for young and active patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty when compared with traditional cemented options.

Abstract
In this study we present our experience with four generations of uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from Smith & Nephew: Tricon M, Tricon LS, Tricon II and Profix, focusing on the failure rates correlating with each design change. Beginning in 1984, 380 Tricon M, 435 Tricon LS, 305 Tricon 2 and 588 Profix were implanted by the senior author. The rate of revision for loosening was 1.1% for the Tricon M, 1.1% for the Tricon LS, 0.5% for the Tricon 2 with a HA coated tibial component, and 1.3% for the Profix TKA. No loosening of the femoral component was seen with the Tricon M, Tricon LS or Tricon 2, with no loosening seen of the tibial component with the Profix TKA. Regarding revision for wear, the incidence was 13.1% for the Tricon M, 6.6% for the Tricon LS, 2.3% for the Tricon 2, and 0% for the Profix. These results demonstrate that improvements in the design of uncemented components, including increased polyethylene thickness, improved polyethylene quality, and the introduction of hydroxyapatite coating, has improved the outcomes of uncemented TKA over time.

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
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical and radiographical outcomes in spinal fusion procedures using silicate-substituted calcium phosphate (Si-CaP). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Si-CaP is a newer-generation synthetic ceramic designed to maximize osteoinduction and osteoconduction. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected patient database including 108 patients (204 individual spinal levels). Different surgical procedures performed included 25 anterior cervical discectomy and fusions, 17 posterior cervical fusions, 7 combined anterior and posterior cervical fusions, 10 thoracic fusion surgeries, 18 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions with 12 axial lumbar interbody fusions, 11 transpsoas discectomy and fusions, and 8 combined thoracolumbar fusion procedures. Si-CaP was used as bone extender without any additional graft material, bone marrow aspirate, or bone morphogenetic protein. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index, and Neck Disability Index. Fusion was determined by the presence of bony bridging on 2 consecutive sections in at least 2 planes on computed tomographic imaging. RESULTS At a follow-up of 12 (± 4.7) months, 90% of all patients demonstrated radiographical fusion. Fusion rates were highest in the cervical spine (97%) followed by thoracic and lumbar spines (86% and 81%, respectively). There were significant improvements in all clinical outcome measures-Oswestry Disability Index, 11.1 (± 10.2) and Neck Disability Index, 9.0 (± 11.4); VAS-back, 3.1(± 3.0); VAS-leg, 3.5 (± 3.6); VAS-neck, 3.7 (± 2.5); and VAS-arm 4.0 (± 3.2). There was no radiographical loosening of instrumentation due to infection or nonunion in this series, and no subsequent revisions for nonunion were required. CONCLUSION Si-CaP is an alternative to autogenous bone graft in spinal arthrodesis procedures. At 12-month follow-up, we detected high levels of bony fusion using Si-CaP in combination with various surgical spinal techniques.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) (each in the concentration range of 0.01-1.00 wt/wt%) were investigated as the reinforcing agent in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/hydroxyapatite (HA) bone cement. Mixed results were obtained for the changes in the mechanical properties determined (storage modulus, bending strength, and elastic modulus) for the reinforced cement relative to the unreinforced counterpart; that is, some property changes were increased while others were decreased. We postulate that this outcome is a consequence of the fact that each of the nanofillers hampered the polymerization process in the cement; specifically, the nanofiller acts as a scavenger of the radicals produced during polymerization reaction due to the delocalized π-bonds. Results obtained from the chemical structure and polymer chain size distribution determined, respectively, by nuclear magnetic resonance and size exclusion chromatography analysis, on the polymer extracted from the specimens support the postulated mechanism. Furthermore, in the case of the 0.5 wt/wt% GO-reinforced cement, we showed that when the concentration of the radical species in the PMMA bone cement was doubled, mechanical properties markedly improved (relative to the value in the unreinforced cement), suggesting suppression of the aforementioned scavenger activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prosthetic elements must be securely anchored to bone. Should revision surgery be necessary, preservation of bone stock is crucial. The goal of this study was to develop and assess a femoral stem combining secure anchorage and facilitated removal in a goat model. METHODS The development of the uncemented femoral stem was part of an innovation process to fulfill the combined requirements. The stem was designed with two longitudinal semicircular grooves to accommodate a drill bit to unanchor the stem. These grooves were interconnected by canals, each 1 mm in diameter. The surface was partly coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). The stems were inserted in the left hip of 35 goats. Perioperatively, the grooves were filled with autologous bone grafts, and standard cemented canine acetabular component and head were used. The pull-out force was measured six months postoperatively. Following randomization, 11 animals had the grooves of the stem drilled to remove anchoring tissue. Twelve animals were left undrilled (controls). RESULTS There was a significant difference in mean pull-out force between the group that had been drilled (1526 N) compared with the controls (2033 N, p = 0.028). Most of the HA had been resorbed. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The stems had a high retention force. The procedure for un-anchoring by drilling significantly reduced the pull-out force.

Abstract
Background Aseptic loosening of cemented hip prostheses is recognized as a long-term problem, and especially in males and younger patients. Much energy has been focused on developing new prostheses that are designed for cementless fixation. We evaluated the performance of and periprosthetic bone response to a tapered, titanium, hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated femoral hip prosthesis at a minimum of 7 years of follow-up after treatment with primary total hip arthroplasty. Methods Seventy-eight patients and 86 hips were included in the study. There were 35 men and 43 women; the mean age at the time of the operation was 59 years (range, 41 to 81 years). We used a tapered, titanium (Ti6Al4V), HA-coated femoral implant. We evaluated the patients at a minimum of 7 years of follow-up after treatment with primary total hip arthroplasty. Clinical evaluation was performed using the scoring system and the hip scores were assigned according to the level of pain, the functional status and the range of motion. The patients who refused to return, but who did forward X-rays for review after being contacted were questioned by phone about the functional status of their hip. Radiographic follow-up was performed at six weeks, at three, six and twelve months and yearly thereafter. All the available radiographs were collected and assessed for implant stability, subsidence, osseointegration, osteolysis, stress shielding and evidence of periprosthetic lucency. Results Eighty-six hips (78 patients) were available for review at follow-up of greater than 7 years. In 11 of the 86 cases, acetabular failure required revision of the acetabular component, but the femoral stem survived and it was available for long-term evaluation. The radiographs were obtained at 7-year follow-up for another 20 hips, but the patients would not come in for the 7-year clinical evaluation. Therefore, a phone interview was conducted to assess any change in the functional status at a minimum of 7 years. Conclusions The mechanical fixation of a tapered, titanium, HA-coated femoral implant was excellent in this study. This femoral design provided reliable osseointegration that was durable at a mean of 7 years follow-up.

Abstract
We report our 10-year follow-up results of 630 consecutive Anatomique Benoist Giraud I hip prostheses implanted between June 1990 and December 1995. At this time, 520 were satisfactory and 25 had been revised. Although the majority of patients remained asymptomatic at the end of follow-up, the real survivorship of the implant was less than 91% (33 patients who were in the waiting list for revision due to osteolysis at that time were revised by December 2007). On the other hand, radiographic outcomes were of concern: around 90% of patients showed progressive stress shielding and large granulomatous lesions in the proximal femur, and more than 82% of patients exhibited polyethylene wear in excess of 1 mm (mean=1.69 mm).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We have reported that oral erythromycin (EM) inhibits periprosthetic tissue inflammation in a group of patients with aseptic loosening. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of local, periprosthetic EM delivery in a rat model. METHODS Uncoated Ti pins were press-fit into the right tibia of fourteen Sprague-Dawley rats following an intramedullar injection of UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) particles. Revision surgeries were performed 2 months after the primary surgery. EM was applied to the Peri-Apatite™ (PA) layer of the titanium (Ti) pins. The previously implanted Ti pins were withdrawn and replaced with Ti pins coated either with (n = 7) or without (n = 7) EM. The rats were killed 1 month after "revision surgery". The EM efficacy was evaluated by (MicroCT) μCT and histology. RESULTS μCT analysis showed that bone volume percentage (BV/TV) was significantly higher in the EM-treated group compared to the untreated group (p < 0.05). Histological analysis showed that EM treatment inhibits UHMWPE particle-induced periprosthetic tissue inflammation compared to the untreated group. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that periprosthetic EM delivery reduced periprosthetic inflammation and improved the quality of surrounding bone.

Abstract
Fully porous-coated cementless implants have a low failure rate and excellent survivorship in primary and revision surgery. Failure secondary to implant fracture is extremely rare with modern implant designs. We report an early fracture of a fully porous-coated femoral stem after primary total hip arthroplasty. The implant failed because of a filling mismatch between the proximal and distal femur.

Abstract
This is the first work to report on additional Arginin-Glycin-Aspartat (RGD) coating on precoated hydroxyapatite (HA) surfaces regarding new bone formation, implant bone contact, and biocompatibility compared to pure HA coating and uncoated stainless K-wires. There were 39 rabbits in total with 6 animals for the RGD-HA and HA group for the 4 week time period and 9 animals for each of the 3 implant groups for the 12 week observation. A 2.0 K-wire either with RGD-HA or with pure HA coating or uncoated was placed into the intramedullary canal of the tibia. After 4 and 12 weeks, the tibiae were harvested and three different areas of the tibia were assessed for quantitative and qualitative histology for new bone formation, direct implant bone contact, and formation of multinucleated giant cells. Both RGD-HA and pure HA coating showed statistically higher new bone formation and implant bone contact after 12 weeks than the uncoated K-wire. There were no significant differences between the RGD-HA and the pure HA coating in new bone formation and direct implant bone contact after 4 and 12 weeks. The number of multinucleated giant did not differ significantly between the RGD-HA and HA group after both time points. Overall, no significant effects of an additional RGD coating on HA surfaces were detected in this model after 12 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioactive coating of uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is believed to increase bone ingrowth and enhance early fixation of the TKA. In a prospective randomized study using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) we examined migrations of the tibial implant, in an uncemented TKA with and without bioactive coating. The study was performed according to new RSA guidelines, and focus was put on some important methodological issues. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three patients with osteoarthrosis of the knee received an uncemented Duracon TKA either with bioactive (hydroxyapatite or periapatite) coating (+HA) or without bioactive coating (-HA). Patients had RSA examinations postoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months. Nine patients were excluded during the study resulting in 14 knees for final analysis. RESULTS At 12 months follow-up we found no significant differences in migrations between the two groups. However, in general the -HA group migrated more than the +HA group, and we found a significant larger variation in migration pattern in the -HA group. In the +HA group the tibia component stabilized after 6 months, whereas the -HA group showed continuous migration. Subsidence and posterior tilt were the main migration patterns in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Bioactive coating of TKA seems to enhance early stabilization of the tibia component. Similar results are found in previous studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT A number of different synthetic calcium-based bone graft substitutes (BGS) are currently available for clinical use. There is, however, a lack of comparative performance data regarding the relative efficacy of these materials when placed in an osseous defect site. PURPOSE To compare the rate, quality, and extent of osseous healing in a standard rabbit defect model for three commercially available BGS materials by measuring early bone formation and completion of defect healing and to identify whether rapid scaffold resorption stimulated or impaired bone healing. STUDY DESIGN Osteochondral defects, 4.8 mm in diameter and 6 to 7 mm deep, were made through the articular surface into the subchondral bone of the femoral condyle of New Zealand White rabbits and filled with cylindrical pellets of one of three commercially available BGS materials: dense calcium sulfate (DCaS), ultraporous tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), and porous silicated calcium phosphate (Si-CaP). The repair response was examined at 1, 3, 6, and 12 weeks after surgery (n=4 per BGS per time point). METHOD Qualitative histological and quantitative histomorphometric (% new bone, % bone graft substitute, capillary index, and mineral apposition rates) analysis. RESULTS Rapid resorption of D-CaS, primarily through dissolution, elicited a mild inflammatory response that left the defect site empty before significant quantities of new bone were formed. Both beta-TCP and Si-CaP scaffolds supported early bone apposition (<1 week). However, beta-TCP degradation products subsequently provoked an inflammatory response that impaired and reversed bone apposition within the defect site. The Si-CaP scaffolds appeared to be more stable and supported further bone apposition, with the development of an adaptive bone-scaffold composite; cell-mediated resorption of scaffold and new bone were observed in response to local load and contributed to the production of a functional repair within the defect site. CONCLUSIONS Rapid BGS resorption impaired the regenerative ability of local bone via three pathways: 1) insufficient persistence of an osteoconductive scaffold to encourage bone apposition, 2) destabilization of early bony apposition through scaffold disintegration, and 3) stimulation of an inflammatory response by elevated levels of particulate degradation products. This had a significant impact on the ultimate rate of healing. D-CaS did not stimulate early bone apposition, but bone repair was more advanced in D-CaS-treated defects at 12 weeks as compared with those treated with beta-TCP, despite the beta-TCP supporting direct bone apposition at 1 week. Si-CaP appeared to provide a more stable osteoconductive scaffold, which supported faster angiogenesis and bone apposition throughout the defect site, with the development of a functionally adaptive trabecular structure through resorption/remodelling of both scaffold and new bone. There was rapid formation of mineralized tissue at week 1 within the center of the defect and complete infiltration with dense, predominantly mature bone by weeks 3 to 6. The progressive remodeling of bone ingrowth and scaffold to reflect the distribution of local host tissue, combined with histological evidence of targeted osteoclastic resorption of both scaffold and bone, suggest that bone adaptation within the scaffold could be in response to Wolff's law. Although this model may not directly translate to a spinal fusion model and the products may vary according to the environment, these results suggest that, in patients in whom bone regeneration may be compromised, the degradation observed with some resorbable bone grafts may contribute to the decoupling of bone regeneration and resorbtion within the graft site, which may ultimately lead to incomplete bone repair.

Abstract
In the present study, the synthesis of a semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Network (semi-IPN) incorporating linear poly-(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) into cross-linked poly-(2-hydroxyethylmethacrilate) (PHEMA) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) has been described. The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical and biological performance of the PHEMA/PCL in the hydrated state, for orthopaedic applications. The swelling behaviour, mechanical (compressive and tensile) and surface chemical-physical (morphology, stoichiometric composition) characterisation of the novel HA reinforced composite based on PHEMA/PCL polymer matrix, PHEMA/PCL 70/30 (w/w) + 50% (w/w) HA (PHEMA/PCL/HA), were evaluated. Furthermore, a preliminary in vitro biological evaluation was also performed on the composite using a fully characterised primary human osteoblast-like (HOB) cell model. The inclusion of HA in the composite improved the mechanical performance in the swollen state, with values of elastic modulus in a similar range to that of trabecular bone. The composite surfaces showed a porous, irregular topography with the presence of: oxygen (O), carbon (C); phosphorous (P); calcium (Ca) where the Ca/P ratio was 1.78. Biological evaluation indicated undetectable weight loss of the sample, no release of toxic leachables from the composite and pH values within an acceptable range for cell growth. The results indicate that the novel PHEMA/PCL/HA composite is a promising candidate as filler or substitute for spongy bone for orthopaedic applications.

Abstract
The performance of, and periprosthetic bone response to, a tapered, titanium (Ti6Al4V), hydroxyapatite-coated femoral hip prosthesis was evaluated at minimum of 10 years of follow-up. Data were prospectively collected on 147 consecutive primary hip arthroplasties performed in 133 patients by a single surgeon during a 2-year interval. Clinical and radiographic analyses of 96 hips in 86 patients were independently performed by 2 surgeons who were not involved in the care of these patients. There were no cases of aseptic loosening of the femoral component. Subsidence and stress shielding occurred in 5% and 2% of cases, respectively, and was not clinically significant. In all 15 hips that required revision of the acetabular component, the femoral component was found to be well fixed, without any occurrence of distal osteolysis. This femoral design provided reliable osseointegration that was durable at a mean of 11.5 years of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new technique to deposit calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings onto titanium substrates has been developed recently. This electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) technique seems to be very promising. It appears to have clinical advantages such as an inexpensive and simple set-up, high deposition efficiency and the possibility to synthesize layers with a defined surface morphology. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine biological properties and osteoconductivity of ESD CaP coatings when inserted into the femoral condyle of a goat. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four implants with two gaps, i.e. 1 or 2 mm, were inserted into the femoral condyles of six goats. The implants were coated on one side with either a commercially available plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HAPS) coating or an ESD carbonate apatite (CAESD) coating. The other side of the implant was always left uncoated (Ti). Twelve weeks after implantation the animals were sacrificed and the characteristics of bone ingrowth and bone contact were evaluated. RESULTS At 3 months, histological and quantitative histomorphometrical measurements demonstrated more bone ingrowth and bone contact for coated sites as compared with uncoated sites. Statistical testing revealed that for both the 1 and 2 mm gaps HAPS (plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite) as well as CAESD (ESD carbonate apatite) -coated surfaces always had a significantly higher (P<0.05) amount of bone contact than uncoated Ti surfaces. On HAPS surfaces always significantly more bone was present than on CAESD surfaces. Further statistical testing revealed a significant difference in bone ingrowth between the HAPS as well as CAESD and Ti 1+2 mm gap specimens (P<0.05). Further, HAPS 1 mm gaps showed more bone ingrowth than CAESD 1 mm gaps. No significant difference existed between HAPS and CAESD 2 mm gaps. CONCLUSION On the basis of our observations, we conclude that the used ESD technique is a promising new method to deposit CaP coatings onto titanium substrates. On the other hand, plasma-spray HA-coated implants have a still more favourable effect on the bone response.

Abstract
We report our results after ten year follow-up of 107 consecutive ABG-I hip prostheses implanted between June 1990 and December 1992: Only 84 prostheses were still in the study after ten years, but only six patients had undergone surgical revision. We can consider our clinical outcomes as excellent, with a whole-implant survival rate greater than 96%, a mean Merle D'Aubigne and Postel score increasing from 7.97 before operation to 16.17 at ten year follow-up, and a personal subjective assessment as excellent or good in 82.14% of patients. However, radiographic outcomes are more worrying: around 90% of patients show a stress-shielding phenomenon and granulomatous lesions in the proximal femur, and more than 82% suffer polyethylene wear greater than one millimetre (mean 1.68 mm). We think that zirconia stem heads and hooded antiluxation PE inserts are determining factors in the process of PE wear and, secondarily, in cancellous bone resorption and bone osteolysis.

Abstract
Orthopaedic and dental surgeons are fully aware of the need for implants to bond well with the surrounding living bone if long-lasting clinical success is to be achieved. For example, well-bonded hip implants have a 10 year failure rate, which is lowered fivefold if bonding is poor or absent. The techniques that are currently available to impart implant surfaces with the desired osteoconductive properties are essentially limited. To overcome the inherent difficulties, we have developed a 'biomimetic' coating process. By this means, implants with complex surface geometries, such as porous spinal implants, can be furnished with a bone-bonding surface. Furthermore, these coatings can be rendered osteoinductive as well as osteoconductive (by incorporating osteogenic agents). Using this facility, we have induced bone formation at an ectopic site in rats, and have accelerated osseointegration (bone bonding) at an orthotopic dental site in adult miniature pigs. Our preliminary results indicated that these osteoinductive dental implants bond with surrounding bone within one week instead of the usual three weeks. We believe that surfaces coated with biomimetic coatings into which osteogenic growth factors are incorporated hold great potential for use in clinical orthopaedics and dentistry.

Abstract
The present study investigated the hypothesis that hydroxyapatite (HA), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and a HA-gel coated on endosseous titanium (Ti) implants by spark discharging (SD) and dip coating would achieve predictable osseointegration without evident bioresorption of the coatings on the long term. A costal sheep model was used for the implantation of the HA/SD, HA/TCP/SD, and HA-gel/SD specimens, which were retrieved 6 and 12 months following implantation. HA and Ti coatings on implants obtained by conventional plasma spraying (HA/PS, Ti/PS) were used as controls. Microscopy showed that osseointegration was achieved from all types of implants. No evidence for bioresorption of the HA/SD, HA/TCP/SD, and HA-gel/SD coatings was present but cohesive failure with disruption of the coating/implant interface was seen. A statistical analysis of the histomorphometrical data showed no time-dependent effect, however. HA/PS coatings achieved significantly higher bone-implant contact (BIC) percentages of the total implant surface (toBIC) than the other types of coatings (P=0.01). If the BIC percentages were traced separately for implant portions placed into cortical and cancellous bone (coBIC and caBIC, respectively), detailed analysis showed that the caBIC values of HA-gel/SD and HA/PS coatings were significantly higher than that of the other types of coatings (P=0.01). CaBIC values were highly correlated with toBIC values (P<0.001). The present study showed that the preparation techniques used produced thin, dense, and unresorbable coatings that achieved osseointegration. Compared with the control coatings, however, only HA-gel/SD coating can be recommended from the investigated preparation techniques for a future clinical use if a better coating cohesion is achieved.

Abstract
Increases in reconstructive orthopaedic surgery, such as total hip replacement and spinal fusion, resulting from advances in surgical practice and the ageing population, have lead to a demand for bone graft that far exceeds supply. Consequently, a number of synthetic bone-graft substitutes (BGSs) have been developed with mixed success and surgical acceptance. Skeletal tissue regeneration requires the interaction of three basic elements: cells, growth factors (GFs) and a permissive scaffold. This can be achieved by pre-loading a synthetic scaffold with GFs or pre-expanded cells; however, a 'simpler' approach is to design intrinsic 'osteoinductivity' into your BGS, i.e. the capability to recruit and stimulate the patient's own GFs and stem cells. Through investigation of the mechanisms controlling bone repair in BGSs, linking interactions between the local chemical and physical environment, scientists are currently developing osteoinductive materials that can stimulate bone regeneration through control of the scaffold chemistry and structure. Moreover, this body of research is providing the foundations for future generations of BGSs and bone-repair therapies and may ultimately contribute towards improving the quality of life through maintenance of the skeleton and reversal of disease states, as opposed to the mending of broken bones that we currently practice. Will we be able to grow our own bones in a bioreactor for use as autologous graft materials in the future? Could surgery be limited to accidental trauma cases, with greater restoration of function through biochemical or gene therapies? The technology and research probes necessary to this task are currently being developed with the advent of nanotechnology, genomics and proteomics: are we about to embark on a chemical revolution in medicine? This paper aims to discuss some of the current thinking on the mechanisms behind bioactivity and biocompatibility in bone and how a fuller understanding of the interactions between cells and the materials used today could bring about completely new approaches for the treatment of bone fracture and disease tomorrow.

Abstract
Solution precipitation of calcium and phosphate is a technique to generate hydroxyapatite [Peri-Apatitetrade mark (PA), Stryker Orthopaedics, Mahwah, NJ] on metal substrate. This study was carried out to determine the capacity of PA to adsorb osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1) and the time course of release, and to determine the osteoinductive activity of OP-1. The adsorption and release studies were conducted with (125)I-labeled OP-1- and PA-coated titanium alloy disks. The results indicate that the adsorption of OP-1 on the PA-coated disks is linear with the concentration of OP-1 up to 5 mg/mL. There is an initial release of 75% to 80% of adsorbed OP-1 within the first hour, and 92% of OP-1 is released in 3 days. The osteoinductive activity of OP-1 was determined in the rat intramuscular ectopic bone formation assay. A total of 24 titanium alloy disks were evenly divided into 3 groups with different treatments for implantation, plain disks (group A), disks coated with PA (group B), and disks coated with PA plus 40 microg OP-1 (group C). Osteogenic protein-1, 40 microg in solution, was injected into the muscle pouch in animals of group D (n = 8). The rats were sacrificed 3 weeks postoperatively and the implants were retrieved. Ectopic bone formation was evaluated with radiography and histology. Results demonstrated that OP-1 induced ectopic bone in all the animals of group C and group D. The titanium alloy disks were surrounded by trabecular bone and marrow tissue. None of the animals of group A or group B showed any evidence of osteoinduction. Our findings indicate that PA can deliver OP-1 directly to titanium alloy implants and maintain the osteoinductive activity of OP-1.

Abstract
Different types of calcium phosphates [hydroxyapatite (HA), fluorapatite (FA), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and their composites (HA + FA, HA + TCP)] were coated on a zirconia (ZrO(2)) porous scaffold using a powder slurry method. The ZrO(2) porous scaffold was intended for a load-bearing implant, and the apatite layers were coated to improve osteoconductivity. The insertion of an FA intermediate layer between the coating layer and ZrO(2) scaffold effectively suppressed the reaction between the calcium phosphate and ZrO(2) and maintained the coating layer at the initial powder composition. The obtained coating layer, of a thickness of approximately 30 microm, was relatively microporous and firmly adherent to the ZrO(2) scaffold. Dissolution tests in physiological solution showed typical differences depending on the coating layers, with the dissolution rate increasing in the order TCP > HA + TCP > HA > HA + FA > FA. This result suggests the functional coating of the calcium phosphates in view of tailoring the solubility. Osteoblast-like cells, MG63 and HOS, responded similarly in terms of cell growth, morphology, and proliferation rate regardless of the coating types, indicating favorable and comparable cell viability. However, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the cells on the pure HA and HA composite coatings (HA + FA and HA + TCP) expressed at higher levels compared to those on pure FA and pure TCP coatings for both MG63 and HOS cells, suggesting a selective cell activity depending on the coating types. All the calcium phosphate-coated-ZrO(2) scaffolds showed higher ALP levels compared to pure ZrO(2) scaffold.

Abstract
Previous investigations have shown that both the early biological response and the mechanical properties of a porous hydroxyapatite bone graft substitute are highly sensitive to its pore structure. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the pore structure continued to influence bone integration in the medium to long term. Two screened batches of porous hydroxyapatite (PHA) designated as batch A and batch B, with porosities of approximately 60 and 80%, respectively, were selected for this study and implanted for periods of 5, 13, and 26 weeks into the lower femur of New Zealand White rabbits. Histomorphometric analysis of the absolute volume of bone ingrowth within batch A and B implants from 5 to 26 weeks showed that the absolute volume of bone ingrowth was consistently lower in batch A (10-21%), compared to batch B implants (24-31%). However, when the volume of bone ingrowth was normalised for the available pore space, this difference was reduced (23-47% and 32-42% for batches A and B, respectively). These observations suggest that differences in the volume of bone ingrowth initially depended on pore interconnectivity rather than pore size, whereas the volume or morphology of the PHA influenced the volume and morphology of bone ingrowth at later time points. Compression testing showed that bone ingrowth had a strong reinforcing effect on PHA bone graft substitutes, and a strong correlation was identified between mechanical properties and the absolute volume of ingrowth for both batches A and B. Furthermore, at 13 and 26 weeks, there was no significant variation in the ultimate compressive strength of integrated batch A and B implants. This similarity in ultimate mechanical properties indicated that the absolute volume of ingrowth may be mediated by the PHA structure through its impact on the dynamics of the local biomechanical environment. The results of push-out testing showed that fixation of PHA bone graft substitutes was independent of density within the range studied, with no significant difference in the interfacial shear stress between batches A and B at each time point throughout the study.

Abstract
A new type of porous coating for hip prostheses called "multilayered mesh" was tested under weight-bearing conditions. The surface of the stem is constructed of titanium mesh produced by etching. The hip stems of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated multilayered mesh and conventional beads were implanted into canine right hips, and animals were killed 3, 6 and 10 weeks and 6 and 12 months after implantation. Shear strength between the implant and the bone was evaluated by the push-out test. Bone ingrowth was calculated from backscattered electron imaging-scanning electron microscopy (BEI-SEM) images of transverse sections. Toluidine blue stained sections and the BEI-SEM images were evaluated histologically. The break sites of the specimens after the push-out test were evaluated on BEI-SEM images of longitudinal sections. The mean push-out strength of the HA-coated multilayered mesh samples was greater than that of the beads-coated samples every time tested, and the HA-coated multilayered mesh implants had significantly stronger push-out strength at 3 and 6 weeks (p<0.05). The strength of the HA-coated multilayered mesh implants was even greater at 6 and 12 months, whereas the strength of the beads-coated samples decreased. The HA-coated multilayered mesh implants showed significantly higher percentages of bone ingrowth than the beads-coated implants every time tested, except at 6 months (p<0.05). At 6 and 12 months, the bone ingrowth data for the HA-coated multilayered mesh implants increased, whereas it decreased for the beads-coated implants. The new bone formation had reached the bottom of the porous area of the HA-coated multilayered mesh surface by 3 weeks, but not had reached the bottom of the conventional beads surface. At 6 and 12 months, the smaller pores of the bead surface stopped the thickening of trabecular bone, and at 12 months, the break sites were at the bone-implant interface of the bead surface, whereas they were on the bone side of the HA-coated multilayered mesh surface. The difference between the break sites was significant at 12 months (p<0.05). The HA-coated multilayered mesh stem provided faster, stronger, and more durable osseointegration than the conventional bead stem.

Abstract
This prospective study was performed to examine the results of total hip arthroplasty with a tapered uncemented femoral component with and without hydroxyapatite coating in a matched-pair group of patients. Since our original publication in 1996, no femoral component was revised in either group. After a mean clinical and radiographic follow-up of 9.8 years, all femoral components were stable, with no evidence of progressive radiolucency or osteolysis. Ten acetabular components were revised because of aseptic loosening and wear. Our study demonstrated no clinical or radiographic advantage, during the first decade after implantation, to the use of hydroxyapatite on this design of femoral component in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Thirty-six consecutive total knee arthroplasties with hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated femoral components were prospectively followed up according to a standardised protocol for a mean period of 10 years (range, 7-11 years). Clinical and radiologic examination was performed at each follow-up evaluation. One patient (1 knee) was lost to follow up at 7 years, and 4 other patients (6 knees) died. Radiographs were studied for signs of loosening and presence of lucencies. Survival analysis was performed using a life table with revision as the criterion for failure. Two knees (1 patient) were revised because of aseptic loosening. The tibial component of one other knee was revised because of osteolysis in the medial tibial condyle. In the remaining knees, no radiologic evidence of loosening was seen. The survival of the femoral component at a mean follow-up time of 7 years, when 31.5 knees were at risk, was 94% with revision for femoral aseptic loosening as the end point. At 10 years, when 24 knees were at risk, the survival remained 94%.

Abstract
Highly porous zirconia (ZrO(2)) bone scaffolds, fabricated by a replication technique using polymeric sponge, were coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). To prevent the chemical reactions between ZrO(2) and HA, an intermediate fluorapatite (FA) layer was introduced. The strength of the porous ZrO(2) was higher than that of pure HA by a factor of 7, suggesting the feasibility of ZrO(2) porous scaffolds as load-bearing part applications. The coated HA/FA layer, with a thickness of about 30 microm, was firmly adhered to the ZrO(2) body with a bonding strength of 22MPa. The osteoblast-like cells were attached and spread well on the coating layer throughout the porous scaffolds. The alkaline phosphatase activity of the proliferated cells on the HA/FA coated ZrO(2) was comparable to that on pure HA and higher than that on pure ZrO(2).

Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to ascertain the relative contributions of surface chemistry and topography to the osseointegration of hydroxyapatite-coated implants. A canine femoral intramedullary implant model was used to compare the osseous response to commercially pure titanium implants that were either polished, grit-blasted, plasma-sprayed with hydroxyapatite, or plasma-sprayed with hydroxyapatite and masked with a very thin layer of titanium using physical vapor deposition (titanium mask). The titanium mask isolated the chemistry of the underlying hydroxyapatite layer without functionally changing its surface topography and morphologic features. At 12 weeks, the bone-implant specimens were prepared for undecalcified thin section histologic evaluation and serial transverse sections were quantified with backscattered scanning electron microscopy for the percentage of bone apposition to the implant surface. Bone apposition averaged 3% for the polished implants and 23% for the grit-blasted implants. Bone apposition to the hydroxyapatite-coated implants averaged 74% whereas bone apposition to the titanium mask implants averaged 59%. Although there was significantly greater osseointegration with the hydroxyapatite-coated implants, 80% of the maximum bone forming response to the implant surfaces developed with the titanium mask implants. This simple, controlled experiment revealed that topography is the dominant factor governing bone apposition to hydroxyapatite-coated implants.
