Core Tip

Core Tip: The use of porous titanium materials was shown to be the most favorable solution for osseointegration for total hip arthroplasty, especially in the case of osteoporosis. Is the use of highly porous acetabular components justified under the condition of normal bone mass? We conducted a study on rats, in which we compared the osseointegration of 3-dimensional (3D)-printed or plasma-coated titanium implants into femoral bone defect by assessing the relative perimeter (%) of bone trabeculae. The highly porous titanium implant, manufactured with 3-dimensional printing, for acetabular components provides increased osseointegration compared to a plasma-coated titanium implant.
