PG - 155-161 LID - S0006-291X(22)01701-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.12.036 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The comparison of bone ingrowth between two types of porous titanium alloy rods with different micro-architectures including diamond crystal lattice (Re-rod) and biogenic lamellar configurations (Bi-rod) on femoral condyles was investigated in this study. METHODS: Twelve rabbits were used. Re-rod (Re-rod group) and Bi-rod (Bi-rod group) were implanted randomly in femoral condyles of each rabbits respectively. Bone ingrowth of these two rods were investigated and compared. 4 and 12 weeks after the operation, X-ray, micro-CT and histological examinations were performed. RESULTS: No femoral condyle fracture and rod defluxion in the two groups was noted in the X-ray images during the observation period. Micro-CT images showed that all metal trabeculae in the Bi-rod group were covered by new bone at 4 and 12 weeks, whereas partial metal trabeculae in the Re-rod group were still uncovered at 12 weeks. Histological images showed that there was new bone growth in the centre and periphery of Bi-rods at 4 and 12 weeks, and there were several areas without new bone ingrowth at 4 and 12 weeks in the centre of Re-rods. In micro-CT analysis, the bone volume to total volume (BV/TV) of the volume of interest (VOI) of the Bi-rod group was higher than in the Re-rod group [(0.0794 +/- 0.0021) % Vs (0.0521 +/- 0.0032) % and (0.0875 +/- 0.0039) % Vs (0.0702 +/- 0.0028) % respectively, P < 0.05] at 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Whereas, the mean trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) values of VOI between the two groups were not significantly statistically different at 4 and 12 weeks. In histological analysis, the BV/TV of the VOI of the Bi-rod group was higher than in the Re-rod group [(0.0624 +/- 0.0021) % Vs (0.0435 +/- 0.0028) % and (0.0675 +/- 0.0024) % Vs (0.0476 +/- 0.0031) % respectively, P < 0.05] at 4 weeks and 12 weeks. CONCLUSION: These results showed that Bi-rods got better bone ingrowth in femoral condyles of rabbits compared with Re-rods. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
