Background: There is evidence that bisphosphonates can improve fixation of cementless metal implants by enhancing the extent of osseointegration. The current preclinical study examined whether the nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate ibandronate can accelerate this process, resulting in early achievement of secondary stability and sealing of the bone-implant interface to prevent wear debris migration.
Methods: The study was conducted on 88 female Sprague-Dawley rats in which uncoated titanium and hydroxyapatite-coated titanium implants were surgically inserted into the medullary canal of each femur. The animals were randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous treatment with 1.0, 2.5, or 5.0 microg/kg per day ibandronate or saline solution as a control. The extent of osseointegration expressed by the osseointegrated implant surface was quantified by histomorphometry at eleven time points during the study period. To determine the time course of osseointegration, the data were expressed using third-order polynomial regression analysis.
Results: For hydroxyapatite-coated implants, the highest dose of ibandronate (5 microg) reduced the time for a sufficient implant fixation of 60% osseointegrated implant surface to 18 days compared to 38 days in the control group. This reduction of 20 days (52.6%) represents a halving in the time required for sufficient osseointegration of the implant. For hydroxyapatite-coated implants and low-dose ibandronate application (1 microg, 2.5 microg) and for uncoated titanium implants, acceleration of osseointegration was not observed in any of the study arms.
Conclusion: Continuous treatment with 5 microg/kg per day ibandronate is potent in accelerating osseointegration of hydroxyapatite-coated implants. As a result, improved early secondary stability and prevention of wear debris migration by the sealing of the implant-bone interface can be expected, therefore prolonging the long-term survival of the implant.

his study aimed to evaluate the effects of the atomic layer deposited hydroxyapatite (ALD-HA) coating of the titanium (Ti) surface on human gingival keratinocyte (HGK) cell adhesion, spreading, viability, and hemidesmosome (HD) formation. Grade 2 square-shaped Ti substrates were used ( = 62). Half of the substrates were ALD-HA coated, while the other half were used as non-coated controls (NC).

Tooth loss replacement using dental implants is becoming more frequent. Traditional dental implant materials such as commercially pure titanium and titanium aluminum vanadium alloys have well-proven mechanical and biological properties. New titanium alloying metals such as niobium provide improved mechanical properties such as lower elastic modulus while displaying comparable or even better biocompatibility.

Although mixing and matching components is a common, safe, and well-documented practice in hip revision surgery, our extensive search indicates that it has not been previously reported for shoulder arthroplasty. This case report presents the use of mixed implants in shoulder revision surgery to reduce morbidity and address flaws in the initial implant design. We describe a case of a patient with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia who was treated for osteoarthritis in his left shoulder with an anatomic shoulder replacement in 2014.

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.
