Summary

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on titanium fibermesh tibial components significantly reduced migration and aseptic loosening compared to non-HA coated components over nine years. This suggests HA coating enhances implant stability in knee replacements.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Tibial component migration is a key factor in aseptic loosening of knee replacements.
  • Titanium fibermesh coatings aim to improve bone integration and implant stability.
  • Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioactive ceramic known to promote bone healing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the in vivo migration of noncemented, diffusion sintered titanium fibermesh-coated tibial components with and without additional hydroxyapatite (HA) coating.
  • To evaluate the long-term stability and revision rates of HA-coated versus non-HA coated tibial components.

Main Methods:

  • Digital radiostereometry (DIRSA) was employed to track the migration of tibial components.
  • Migration was assessed at two and nine years post-implantation.

  • Two groups were compared: HA-coated and non-HA coated titanium fibermesh tibial components.

    • Main Results:

    • After two years, HA-coated components showed approximately half the mean maximum subsidence (0.24 mm) compared to non-HA coated components (0.55 mm).
    • At nine years, HA-coated components exhibited reduced subsidence and maximum total point motion (MTPM) (0.54 mm) compared to non-HA coated components (0.74 mm).
    • Only one non-HA coated component required revision for aseptic loosening, while no HA-coated components were revised for this reason.

    Conclusions:

    • Hydroxyapatite coating significantly enhances the stability of titanium fibermesh-coated tibial components.
    • HA coating reduces tibial component migration and the risk of aseptic loosening in knee arthroplasty.
    • The use of HA coating is a promising strategy for improving the long-term outcomes of cementless knee replacement surgery.
