The goal of this study was to compare the migration of noncemented diffusion sintered titanium fibermesh-coated tibial components with (HA group) and without (non-HA group) additional hydroxyapatite coating. For this purpose digital radiostereometry (DIRSA) was used to compare the migration after 2 and 9 years for the two groups. After 2 years the mean maximum subsidence of the HA-coated components (0.24+/-0.18 mm) was about one-half of the mean maximum subsidence of the non-HA-coated group (0.55+/-0.55 mm). After 9 years the maximum subsidence of the HA-coated components was still smaller, but not as pronounced as before. The same trend was also found for the endpoint maximum total point motion (MTPM). After 2 years the mean MTPM of the HA-coated components was 0.66+/-0.38 mm and of the non-HA group 0.73+/-0.50 mm. After 9 years the mean MTPM for the HA-coated components was 0.54+/-0.15 mm and for the non-HA-coated components 0.74+/-0.20 mm. None of the HA-coated tibial components but one of the non-HA group had to be revised and exchanged due to aseptic loosening.

Background: Survival at 25 years' follow-up for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported at 5%-77%, with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, due to its osteo-conductive properties, used to enhance implant fixation and survival. The progressive increase in life expectancy raises doubts regarding HA-coated THA survival and THA revision surgery risk. The aim of our study was to retrospectively analyse survival for primary uncemented fully HA-coated THA after 28 years' follow-up.

Article Synopsis
  • Degradable orthopedic implants made from magnesium alloys could reduce the need for surgical removal and associated pain by mimicking bone properties.
  • Previous studies indicated that pure magnesium degrades too quickly for effective bone healing, but applying hydroxyapatite coatings can slow this degradation.
  • Researchers used finite element analysis (FEA) to model and simulate the degradation of both uncoated and HA-coated magnesium over 120 days, confirming that the HA coating leads to reduced corrosion rates compared to pure magnesium.

Chronic wounds impose a significant burden on individuals and healthcare systems, necessitating the development of advanced wound management strategies. Tissue engineering, with its ability to create scaffolds that mimic native tissue structures and promote cellular responses, offers a promising approach. Electrospinning, a widely used technique, can fabricate nanofibrous scaffolds for tissue regeneration.

The affinity of milk fat globule membrane fragments and buttermilk proteins to hydroxyapatite.

Buttermilk differs from skim milk by the presence of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) fragments that are released during cream churning. Milk fat globule membrane is rich in health-promoting components, such as phospholipids and membrane proteins, but these compounds have a negative impact on buttermilk techno-functional properties in dairy applications. The isolation of MFGM from buttermilk improved its functionality while also recovering the MFGM bioactive components.

Aims: The objective of this study was to compare the two-year migration and clinical outcomes of a new cementless hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium acetabular shell with its previous version, which shared the same geometrical design but a different manufacturing process for applying the titanium surface.

Methods: Overall, 87 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized to either a Trident II HA or Trident HA shell, each cementless with clusterholes and HA-coating. All components were used in combination with a cemented Exeter V40 femoral stem.
