Chemically Textured and Oxidized Zirconium Surfaces for Implant Fixation

“…Biological and cemented fixation strengths can be increased by using porous or textured surfaces which enhance the potential for mechanical interdigitation at the interface. Oxidized zirconium, a material recently introduced for orthopaedic bearing applications (Oxinium™, Smith & Nephew, Inc., Memphis, TN) due to its beneficial wear and abrasion resistance [1][2], cannot be easily processed using traditional porous coating techniques. Therefore, an alternative fixation surface which could be used with or without bone cement was sought.…”
