In preparation for a clinical trial to investigate the structural durability of an artificial bone graft versus an autologous bone graft in LCLO on paediatric patients and the CC joint, we conducted a RSA study on LCLO on cadaver feet.
The durability limits of various types of bone plate and compression hip screw (CHS) calculated from maximum load vs number of cycles data (L N data) were close to the notch fatigue strength of the raw material.
While the Compress® implant performs at least as well over time as prostheses with other forms of bone fixation, further improvement of prosthetic durability is needed, especially for young patients with good long-term prognosis from their cancer.
Adhesion of bone cell to the implant surface, bond strength and durability of the implants are highly dependent upon the characteristics of the Ti substrate and the methods utilized in the hydroxyapatite coating process.
Bone mineral density, estimate of bone mass.
Additional groups of ovine, human and bovine grafts were subjected to a more intensive cleansing procedure that was shown to reduce the durability of the cartilage surface, but also the subchondral bone.
Concerns include the durability of the fibrocartilage repair tissue and thermal damage to subchondral bone and adjacent normal articular cartilage during this procedure [ 27].
Long-term follow-up will determine whether this bone ingrowth will be associated with the durability of the glenoid implant in total shoulder arthroplasty.
