Tensile strength of the interface between hydroxyapatite and bone

Abstract: Tensile strength of the interface between hydroxyapatite (HA) and bone was tested. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the tensile failure mode and the morphological change of hydroxyapatite ceramic surface in bone. The porosity of hydroxyapatite is 14% and pore size less than 2 microns. After 2 weeks of implantation, the tensile strength of the interface is 0.72 MPa. After 4, 8, and 16 weeks, the average tensile strength stayed at 1.5 MPa. SEM showed that tensile failure occurred at the HA-bone i… Show more

“…From the biomechanical point of view, laminae limitantes are more unstable than mineralized bone matrix and are weak points. Mechanical testing of a variety of implanted biomaterials confirms that the tissue-implant interfacial strength is significantly inferior to the intrinsic strength of bone [Carter and Hayes, 1977;Hong et al, 1992;Wong et al, 1995;Edwards et al, 1997]. Therefore implants with a porous surface are needed for a strong bony fixation.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated that BCP is biocompatible with hard tissues and exhibits osteo-conductive properties. [1][2][3][4][5] BCP has been shown to form a direct bond with surrounding tissue after bone implantation. However, it has very poor mechanical properties, which severely limits its use in load-bearing implant applications.…”

“…Two crystalline phases, namely Hibonite -CaO (Al 2 O 3 ) 6 and beta-tricalcium phosphate -Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , with varying peak intensities, can be detected in the patterns. In all cases, the diffractograms have predominantly registered the Hibonite phase -CaO(Al 2 O 3 ) 6 , matched in every sample (ICSD card no. 76-0665), which is due to the dissolution of CaO from HA and its reaction with Al 2 O 3 which makes 50 wt.% in the composite (see Fig.…”
