“…Human bone morphogenetic protein, for example, covalently bound to titanium using anchor molecules, significantly increases osteoinduction . PIII treatment of PEEK can produce this bioactivity without the need for anchor molecules and at the same time prevent adverse stress shielding associated with the use of metallic implants that result from a mismatch of material moduli . Despite the advantages, this process has not been optimised and fully characterised for PEEK.…”

Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) is used in this study to improve the surface bioactivity of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) by modifying the chemical structure and introducing radicals. The kinetic properties of the treated surface are characterised here, allowing for tuning of the PIII process in order to produce PEEK with optimised bioactivity. The optimum PIII ion fluence for PEEK is determined to be 1 × 1016 ions/cm2. A model is proposed that accounts for the decay of radicals, nitrogen loss, oxygen incorporation and changes in surface energy within the structure. The model is based on the premise that there is a distribution of local chemical environments produced by PIII. The distribution of chemical environments results in a bioactive surface that has a long shelf life, compatible with clinical needs.

“…It must be noted that PEEK is a hydrophobic material. As such, it does not actively bond to tissue, creating potential issues in regards to anatomical integration as bone cells will not bond to the implants [59]. Whilst there are a number of coatings which can alleviate these concerns [53,58], un-coated PEEK remains at a disadvantage in regards to achieving stable fixation in a short timeframe.…”

“…For cranioplasty applications, PEEK tends to be manufactured with a smooth surface. In addition, its hydrophobic properties are such that concerns exist in regards to the materials anatomical integration potential [53,58,59], as such, both the ISF and TAB ranking can be considered to be 0.…”

Cranioplasty and Craniofacial Reconstruction: A Review of Implant Material, Manufacturing Method and Infection Risk

et al. 2017

Background: Analysis of current literature highlights a wide variation in reported infection risk for different materials in cranial repair. The purpose of these composite materials are to mimic natural bone and assist in restoring function (structurally and aesthetically) to the human skull. This review aims to examine the meta-data in order to provide an amalgamated overview of potential trends between implant material, manufacturing method and infection risk, in order to provide a core reference point for future studies surrounding emerging biomedical materials in the fields of cranioplasty by providing base point for understanding the capabilities and limitations of current technologies. Methods: A search for articles was conducted, with the following criteria seen as fundamental in providing an accurate picture of the current landscape: publication in the last decade, provision of a numerical value for both number of implants and infection cases, patient sample of 10+, adult patients, and cranioplasty/cranial repair. Results: A total of 41 articles were seen to meet the author's inclusion criteria. Average infection rates per material ranged between 2.04% and 10.98%. The results indicate that there is variation between materials in regards to total infection risk, however, depending on the materials compared, this value may be insignificant. Alternative risk factors associated with infection, including surgical time, revisions and previous infection, have a greater impact on infection potential than material variation. Comparison of fabrication methods did highlight a notable effect on average infection rate. Trends can be observed showing that materials with greater levels of surface interaction and active support of tissue ingrowth presented greater infection resistance. Such characteristics are due to the physical structures of the implants. Conclusions: It can be said that the manufacturing methods can influence biomedical materials to assist in minimizing implant infection risk.

The use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites in the trauma plating system, total replacement implants, and tissue scaffolds has found great interest among researchers. In recent years (2008 afterward), this type of composites has been examined for suitability as substitute material over stainless steel, titanium alloys, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, or even biodegradable materials in orthopedic implant applications. Biomechanical and bioactivity concepts were contemplated for the development of PEEK orthopedic implants and a few primary clinical studies reported the clinical outcomes of PEEK-based orthopedic implants. This study aims to review and discuss the recent concepts and contribute further concepts in terms of biomechanical and bioactivity challenges for the development of PEEK and PEEK composites in orthopedic implants.
