Characterization of New Generations of Implants at the Interface with Bone by Synchrotron Radiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this work was to study the implant-bone interface by synchrotron radiation in order to show the evolution of the crystallites of hydroxyapatite (Hap) reconstituted at the interface with the implant. The implant used an orthopaedic surgery is the Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), the implants are currently coated with (HAp), Ca10 (PO4)6 (OH)2, in order to obtain a stable and functional direct connection between the bone and the implant. In this work, two implants have been used, the first one coated with HAp and the second uncoated. At the implant-bone interface, the new bone reconstituted after two months of implantation must have the same properties like the natural bone in order to accept the implant. Therefore we studied the crytallinity index and texture of the new bone crystals reconstituted at the interface using synchrotron radiation on ID15 at ESRF in Grenoble, France.
