Bone Strength and In-Flight Mechanical Stresses.
Abstract
Sixteen ceramic samples were implanted in mature rhesus monkeys for periods of 105, 130, and 150 days. The sixteen samples consisted of four groups, each group containing a different amount of phosphorus to determine the effect of compositional variations on the ceramic microstructure, its behavior in a physiological environment and the response of the surrounding bone and soft tissue to the varying composition and/or pore structure. In addition, implant studies in rabbits have shown no biochemical effects due to the presence of the ceramic. Investigations have shown that both composition and pore structure are extremely important in the in-vivo behavior of the ceramic relative to bone ingrowth and resorbtion. (Modified author abstract)
