Hydroxyapatite granules interposed at bone-cement interface in total hip replacements: Histological study of retrieved specimens

Abstract: The effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) granules interposed between bone and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement in total hip replacement was histologically evaluated. The technique consisted of smearing 2-5 g of HA granules (straight phi = 100-300 microm) onto the bone surface just before cementing. Four specimens containing well-fixed bone-cement interface were retrieved at 1, 2, 6, and 10 years postoperatively and examined with back-scattered electron microscopy and light microscopy. The majority of HA gran… Show more

“…3,17 Retrieval studies showed that the majority of the HA granules were incorporated into remodelled trabeculae at a maximum follow-up of ten years. 18 These promising results are in contrast to the present, and other experimental studies. 14,15 This may be a function of difference in duration of implantation before analysis was undertaken, with Oonishi et al 18 making observations at up to ten years and our own being made after only three weeks.…”

“…Our results show that unlike granular hydroxyapatites of synthetic or natural origin, which persist in grafted sites for 6 to 9 years or more (14,15,18,19), the active or passive dissolution of aqueous nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (Ostim ® ) leads in less than 12 months to a skeletal segment that is almost completely composed of bone, the ideal tissue for supporting implants.…”

“…Oonishi et al (2000) confirmed that there were histologically negligible foreign body reactions in the specimens retrieved after ten years of service in vivo. They attributed this to the fact that the particle size of HA granules was relatively large (100–300 μm) and that most of the granules were incorporated.…”
