Progression of human bone ingrowth into porous-coated implants: Rate of bone ingrowth in humans

We report the measured progression of human cancellous bone ingrowth into load-bearing porous-coated titanium implants over 5 time periods (0,3,6, 9, and 12 months). There was a statistically significant progression of bone ingrowth into the implants over a 9-month period, but the 9- and 12-month data were not different. Investigators are advised to analyze time “0” implants in order to distinguish mechanical impaction of bone from the biological process of bone ingrowth.Downloads
