Abstract:Aims BoneMaster is a thin electrochemically applied hydroxyapatite (HA) coating for orthopaedic implants that is quickly resorbed during osseointegration. Early stabilization is a surrogacy marker of good survival of femoral stems. The hypothesis of this study was that a BoneMaster coating yields a fast early and lasting fixation of stems. Methods A total of 53 patients were randomized to be treated using Bi-Metric cementless femoral stems with either only a porous titanium plasma-sprayed coating (P group) or … Show more
“…The efficacy of electrochemically applied hydroxyapatite on the porous coating on an ingrowth prosthesis was studied in a randomized study in which the same implant design was used either with or without hydroxyapatite on the porous titanium plasma-sprayed coating 19 . Patients were followed for 5 years after the surgical procedure and their implants were monitored with radiostereometry.…”
