The shear strength and the failure mode of plasma‐sprayed hydroxyapatite coating to bone: The effect of coating thickness

Abstract: Plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coated (HAC) 50 and 200 microns thick on Ti-6Al-4V cylinders was transcortically implanted in the femora of canines to evaluate in detail the effect of coating thickness on the pushout shear strength and failure mode examined under scanning electron microscope after the periods of 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks. The HAC coating exhibited higher shear strength at 50 microns than at 200 microns. Its failure mode was conclusively at or near the HAC-bone interface, and the slight attack of bod… Show more

“…A thicker coating usually exhibits poorer mechanical properties. The suggested optimum thickness is about 50 mm in order to avoid fatigue failure while still providing reasonable coating bioresorption and consistent bone growth [249][250][251][252]. A 50 mm coating exhibits significantly higher shear strength than a 200 mm coating.…”

“…However, disadvantages of these implants are always concerning, including detachment and bioresorption of the coating film and rapid progress of inflammatory symptoms 19) . There have been efforts to address these concerns by improving the crystallization ratio of the coated hydroxyapatite and by strengthening the bond between titanium and hydroxyapatite 20,21) . Studies have also been conducted using a thin coating layer of 1-5 m with the premise that there may be hydroxyapatite bioresorption and disappearance during or after achievement of osseointegration [22][23][24] .…”
