Enhanced ingrowth of porous‐coated CoCr implants plasma‐sprayed with tricalcium phosphate

Abstract: Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is an osteo-conductive bioceramic which, when applied to a porous-coated prosthesis, may enhance osseous ingrowth and mechanical stability. TCP plasma-sprayed and unsprayed porous-coated tibial intramedullary rods were bilaterally implanted in seven adult rabbits. All rabbits were killed at 12 weeks. Pull-out tests were performed on 4 rabbits while all were evaluated histologically for osseous response and adverse tissue reaction. TCP-sprayed implants showed significantly greater oss… Show more

“…Coatings of hydroxyapatite (HA) fabricated by plasma spraying have been extensively investigated, [4][5][6] although there are several critical problems associated with the degradation of HA due to the elevated temperature required in the process, and lack of strength at the metal/HA interface. [7][8][9] An alternative method is to coat the implant with a bioactive glass (able to form HA in vivo) that could provide the desired interfacial attachment to the bone.…”

“…[1][2][3] Moreover, clinical dissatisfaction with (poly)methylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement also has led to an increasing use of implants with porous coatings to anchor total joint prostheses. [4][5][6] In this work, graded porous titanium coatings on titanium substrates were prepared by plasma spraying in an argon atmosphere to improve biological fixation via osseous ingrowth.…”

“…Significantly greater attachment strength was reported for the TCP-coated implants (2.75 MPa) after 4 weeks of implantation compared to the uncoated controls (2.22 MPa). In a study by Chae et al [29], TCP-coated porous CoCrMo intramedullary implant rods were prepared in rabbits. Similar pullout force was reported between TCP-coated (307 N) and uncoated specimens (324.7 N) at 12 weeks.…”
