Hydroxyapatite porous coating and the osteointegration of the total hip replacement

摘要

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the plasma sprayed, combined porous titanium alloy/HA coating in promoting bony ingrowth and mechanical stabilization of total hip implants. The performance of the titanium alloy/HA type coated hip prostheses and the one of the same shape but without any coating, is compared in this paper.
