Bioactive ceramic coating of cancellous screws improves the osseointegration in the cancellous bone

摘要

Background A number of methods for coating implants with bioactive ceramics have been reported to improve osseointegration in bone, but the effects of bioactive ceramic coatings on the osseointegration of cancellous screws are not known. Accordingly, biomechanical and histomorphometric analyses of the bone-screw interface of uncoated cancellous screws and cancellous screws coated with four different bioactive ceramics were performed.
