BACKGROUND:Surface modification of titanium surface to improve its biological activity is the research hotspot. Strontium-doped coating is considered to be an effective approach to promote the implant osseointegration. OBJECTIVE:To introduce the research progress of strontium-modified biomedical titanium al oys.METHODS:Articles related to the medical titanium al oys modified with strontium published from January 2000 to April 2016 were retrieved from CNKI and PubMed databases. The keywords were“titanium (Ti), strontium (Sr), bone, osteogenic”in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Titanium al oys have been widely used in bone implantation because of their good biocompatibility and similar elasticity modulus with human bones. However, pure titanium al oys have poor bioactivity which leads to weak bone-implant contact. Surface modification is a good approach to enhance implant osseointegration. Sr-doped surface treatment can promote new bone formation and osseointegration. Most of the studies about Sr-doped modification are ongoing at the extracorporeal and animal experiment stage;therefore, further investigation is required to seek rapid, stable, available, safe and effective methods.

BACKGROUND:Titanium alloy, a commonly used bone biomaterial, holds good biocompatibility and proper mechanical properties, but without osteointegration ability. Surface bioactive coating of titanium alloy can overcome such problems. OBJECTIVE:To review the application progress of surface bioactive coating on titanium alloys, and to explore the mechanism underlying its osteogenic induction. METHODS:PubMed and CNKI databases were searched for literatures concerning surface bioactive coating on titanium alloys published from January 2000 to March 2016, using the keywords oftitanium, titanium alloys, coating, surface modification, bonein English and Chinese, respectively. Through preliminary analysis, 42 eligible articles were selected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surface modification method has undergone the transition from surface roughening, oxidation, acidification treatment to the most widely used biomimetic coating technology. The surface biomimetic coatings of titanium alloys mainly include hydroxyapatite, bioactive glass, zeolite, which have been developed from a single coating to the composite coatings and gradient coatings. What's more, the bioactive factor or/and metal ions in the coating can improve the osteointegration of surface coating. Surface modification for titanium alloys is a complex process, during which, both the osteogenesis ability and the bonding strength between the coating and its substrate cannot be ignored. Improving the fabrication method of existing coatings and exploring new materials of biomimetic coatings are critical to achieve a high-quality surface coating modification.

BACKGROUND: Porosity has been proven to improve the stability of orthopedic implants, and the architecture of pores is considered as a significant factor to improve the osseointegration of implants. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the research advance in porous architecture. METHODS: WOS database was searched for the articles addressing the porous structure of the implants published from January 2000 to April 2016 using the keywords of scaffold, pore size, porosity, osteogenesis. The literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The stability of traditional implants cannot meet the requirements in some specific circumstances, while the implants with porosity can improve the stability due to its osteogenesis ability. (2) Porous structure is a hotspot, and the osseointegration of porous implants in vivo is explored through series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. (3) It has been shown that higher porosity, proper pore size, microporous morphology and microstructure of the pore wall may contribute to the growth and differentiation of bone tissue under enough mechanical support. (4) However, most studies on the porous implants are still on the in vivo and animal experimental stage, and its promoting effects on the osteogenesis and bone in-growth are needed to be investigated in depth.

Objective To explore the influence of pelvis obliquity in lateral position to acetabular component orientation during total hip arthroplasty (THA),and the method to correct.Methods Fifty patients (62 hips) were performed THA with posterolateral incision in lateral position by the same team.The patients were randomized and divided into experimental group (EX,with 25 cases,34 hips) and control group (CON,with 25 cases,28 hips).In EX group,the acetabular components were placed by means of the gradienter and plumb correcting technique during THA.While in CON group,the acetabular components were placed by traditional method during THA.The acetabular abduction angles were measured postoperatively,and compared between the two groups.Results The average obliquity of pelvis was-1.647°±4.512°in EX group when putting the patient in lateral position before correcting.Through the application of gradienter and plumb,the average abduction angle of acetabular component was 42.685°±3.355° postoperatively,with the difference of 1.962°±1.515° compared with the preoperative angles.And in CON group,the average abduction angle of acetabular component was 44.534°±4.844° postoperatively,with the difference of 4.244°±3.042°.The difference of abduction angle in CON group was much higher than that in EX group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The pelvic obliquity when putting the patient under lateral position will affect the surgeons'judgments of placing acetabular component during THA,furthermore,lead to inconsistency among the abduction angles obtained preoperatively,intraoperatively and postoperatively.By applying the correcting method with gradienter and plumb,the discrepancy can reduce obviously between the abduction angle measured postoperatively and that of measured during operation comparing with traditional method.

BACKGROUND:With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds as bone substitutes have become a research hotspot. OBJECTIVE:To introduce and discuss the effects of each parameter of 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds on bone ingrowth, and to sum out the optimal parameters for bone ingrowth. METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed, Springerlink and Medline databases with“three-dimensional (3D) printing, scaffold, titanium, bone ingrowth”as keywords for relevant articles published from 2006 to 2016. 125 articles were retrieved initial y, and final y 42 eligible articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Pore size, porosity, pore structures and surface modifications of 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds al make effects on bone ingrowth or osteoblasts in scaffolds. Scaffolds with appropriate pore size and porosity can promote the vascularization and provide adequate nutrition and oxygen supplement, to ensure high cel viability. Regulations of cel performances, such as cel attachment, proliferation and differentiation, are also affected by pore structures and nano-scale surface modification. Herein, a detailed combination of the parameters, as mentioned above, can create a better porous scaffold for better bone ingrowth. Hence, the high-stability interface between bone and scaffolds may be obtained through the parameter adjustment.
