Abstract:
:Alumina tubes (1.3mm outer diameter, 0.6mm inner diameter, 15 mm length) doped with Ca, Mn, or Cr at nominal concentrations of 0.5 and 5.0 mol% were implanted into femoral medullary canals of female rats for 16 weeks. Tissue formation within tubes was determined by histology and histomorphometry. Addition of Ca to alumina promoted hypertrophic bone formation at the advancing tissue fronts and tube entrances, and appeared to retard angiogenesis by limiting ongoing cellular migration into the tube. It is speculated that the presence of a secondary phase of calcium hexaluminate, probably having a solubility greater than that of alumina, possibly increased the level of extracellular Ca and, consequently, stimulated osteoclastic activity at the bone-ceramic interface. Addition of Mn significantly enhanced osteogenesis within the tubes. However, it is not possible to determine whether phase composition or microstructure of the ceramic was responsible for this because both were significantly altered by Mn addition. Addition of Cr to the alumina apparently stimulated bone remodelling as indicated by increased cellular activity and bone resorption at the tissue-implant interface. Cr was incorporated into the alumina as a solid solution and the tissue response was speculated to be an effect of surface chemistry rather than microstructure. The work demonstrates that doping a bioinert ceramic with small amounts of specific elements can significantly alter tissue ingrowth, differentiation, and osteogenesis within a porous implant.
