Experiments and clinical application of porous ceramic coating

Journal of Tongji Medical University Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A porous ceramic coating has been developed and its potential application as a means of skeletal fixation by bony ingrowth into the porous ceramic coating has been studied. Furthermore, a study of the physicochemical characteristics of the porous ceramic was carried out and a histological and mechanical evaluation of the implant interface made. Consistent bony ingrowth towards the implants was observed for a long time. A new type of hip prosthesis with porous ceramic coating, as well as the operative techniques and clinical results are presented
