Effect of electrogalvanic elements on nonfractured bone.

O Johnell, C J Petersson

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |May 1, 1984

    Summary

    Bimetallic implants of silver and platinum in rat femora increased bone ash weight and strontium activity after six weeks. However, these effects were not observed after three months, suggesting a temporary impact.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials science
    • Orthopedic research
    • Materials science

    Background:

    • Metallic implants are common in orthopedic surgery.
    • The interaction between bimetallic materials and bone tissue requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of bimetallic (silver-platinum) implants on bone properties in a rat model.
    • To compare the impact of bimetallic implants with monometallic (silver or platinum) implants.

    Main Methods:

    • Bimetallic silver-platinum rods were implanted into the periosteum of rat femora.
    • Control groups received either pure silver or pure platinum rods.
    • Bone ash weight and 85Sr activity were measured after six weeks and three months.

    Main Results:

    • After six weeks, femora with bimetallic rods showed increased ash weight and 85Sr activity compared to monometallic implants.
    • No significant differences in ash weight or 85Sr activity were observed between groups after three months.

    Conclusions:

    • Bimetallic silver-platinum implants may temporarily enhance bone mineralization and strontium uptake.
    • The observed effects are transient, indicating a limited long-term impact on bone properties.
