Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the results of the treatment of the ischemic necrosis of femoral head using titanium alloy cage in animal models.[Method]The ischemic necrosis of femur head was made with the liquid nitrogen in 15 hybrid adult dogs.The titanium alloy cage of threaded central empty cylinder with multi-hole periphery was driven into the full depth of the center decompression canal to the subchondral bone.The dogs were divided into 3 groups,5 dogs in each groups were sacrificed respectively at 3,6,12 weeks after operation.Radiograph and histologic examination were used to evaluate the results.[Result]No collapse of femoral head was observed postoperation.The position of the cages was located wall in X-ray films.Under microscope,the cancellous bone of necrotic femoral head rebuilted up gradually.The cancellous bone grew into cage.After 12-week creeping substitution,the cancellous bone filled up the hollow and the peripheral holes of the cages.[Conclusion]The titanium alloy cage can provide structural support to the subchondral bone and prevent collapse.The cancellous bone grows into the cages through the peripheral holes.The necrotic femoral heads are restoration.The titanium alloy cage could be recommended for the treatment of the ischemic necrosis of femoral head.
