Tissue response to nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen composite implants in marrow cavity

Abstract: The tissue response to a nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen composite implanted in a marrow cavity was investigated by histology and scanning electron microscopy. A Knoop microhardness test was performed to compare the mechanical behavior of the composite and bone. The ultrastructural features of the composite, especially the carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite with low crystallinity and nanometer size, made it a bone-resembling material. It was bioactive, as well as biodegradable. At the interface of the implant a… Show more

“…Already in 1990-s, implants prepared from nanodimensional apatites, as well as biocomposites of nanodimensional apatite with organic compounds were tested in vivo [606][607][608]. Cylinders made of both pure nanodimensional apatite and organoapatite containing a synthetic peptide were analyzed 28 days after implantation into spongy bones of Chinchilla rabbits.…”

“…However, it is very brittle and cannot be applied to the load-bearing site directly [3][4][5]. To overcome these limitations, HA has been incorporated with natural biomacromolecules such as collagen [6][7][8] and gelatin [9,10], or synthetic polymers such as poly (α-hydroxyl acids) [11][12][13][14][15], poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) [16,17], polyamide [18], and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) [19] to prepare composites using a variety of methods including surface coating, grafting, direct mixing, and biomimetic precipitation [10,11,[20][21][22][23]. Particularly, polymer/HA nanocomposites have improved mechanical properties and enhanced cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation on their surfaces by adding nano-sized HA to modify the polymer's characteristics and/or strengthen the polymer matrix [24,25].…”

“…If properly designed, a composite should result in an implant exhibiting bioactivity and tailored physical, biological and mechanical properties for specific biomedical applications (Li & Chang 2005a,b). To date, various biocomposites of biodegradable polymers, bioceramics and bioactive glasses have been used as bone generation materials with varying degrees of success (Du et al 1997;Roether et al 2002). Recently, researchers in the field of orthopaedics have placed considerable emphasis on developing bioactive composites of nano-ceramics and polymers (wherein nano-bioactive material particles are dispersed in suitable polymeric matrices) owing to their bone analogue design as well as their biological performance (Murugan & Ramakrishna 2005).…”
