A theoretical rationale, which could help in the investigation of mechanobiological factors affecting periprosthetic tissue healing, is still an open problem. We used a parametric sensitivity analysis to extend a theoretical model based on reactive transport and computational cell biology. The numerical experimentation involved the drill hole, the haptotactic and chemotactic migrations, and the initial concentration of an anabolic growth factor. Output measure was the mineral fraction in tissue surrounding a polymethymethacrylate (PMMA) canine implant (stable loaded implant, non-critical gap). Increasing growth factor concentration increased structural matrix synthesis. A cell adhesion gradient resulted in heterogeneous bone distribution and a growth factor gradient resulted in homogeneous bone distribution in the gap. This could explain the radial variation of bone density from the implant surface to the drill hole, indicating less secure fixation. This study helps to understand the relative importance of various host and clinical factors influencing bone distribution and resulting implant fixation. 相似文献

The neo-vascularization of the host site is crucial for the primary fixation and the long-term stability of the bone-implant interface. Our aim was to investigate the progression of endothelial cell population in the first weeks of healing. We proposed a theoretical reactive model to study the role of initial conditions, random motility, haptotaxis and chemotaxis in interactions with fibronectin factors and transforming angiogenic factors. The application of governing equations concerned a canine experimental implant and numerical experiments based upon statistical designs of experiments supported the discussion. We found that chemotaxis due to transforming angiogenic factors was attracting endothelial cells present into the host bone. Haptotaxis conditioned by fibronectin factors favored cells adhesion to the host bone. The combination of diffusive and reactive effects nourished the wave front migration of endothelial cells from the host bone towards the implant. Angiogenesis goes together with new-formed bone formation in clinics, so the similarity of distribution patterns of mineralized tissue observed in-vivo and the spatio-temporal concentration of endothelial cells predicted by the model, tended to support the reliability of our theoretical approach. 相似文献

Interface conditions are of prime importance for implant fixation in the early post-operative period and modelling of specific biochemical interactions at implant surface is still missing. We hypothesized that updating osteoblast adhesion properties and growth factor source in an active zone located at the implant surface was relevant to model biochemical interactions of implant with its environment. We proposed an innovative set of diffusive–convective–reactive equations which relevant parameters were the cell decay factor, the cell motility and the growth factor balance.Initial comparison with histomorphometic results from a stable PMMA canine implant model provided an encouraging base to implement a numerical sensitivity analysis to evaluate the role of three types of bioactive surfaces: acid-etched titanium, coarse grit-blasted acid-etched titanium and coarse grit-blasted acid-etched titanium with RGDS peptide. We found that cell diffusion decrease (acid-etched+RGDS peptide vs. PMMA), and increase of local growth factor fraction (PMMA vs. acid-etched+RGDS peptide), significantly improved the amount of mineralized tissue on the implant surface. When the variation of structural fraction to cell motility and growth factor synthesis was investigated, an envelope pattern with an optimum was obtained but this could be exceeded for strong surface modifications and/or for high growth factor concentrations. The model also confirmed that implant bioactive properties should play a limited role to reduce heterogeneity of new-formed tissue. In conclusion, we suggested that our innovative theoretical approach was relevant to investigate implant fixation and could potentially help in reduction of implant revision. 相似文献

Despite the potential for growth factor delivery strategies to promote orthopedic implant healing, there is a need for growth factor delivery methods that are controllable and amenable to clinical translation. We have developed a modular bone growth factor, herein termed “modular bone morphogenetic peptide (mBMP)”, which was designed to efficiently bind to the surface of orthopedic implants and also stimulate new bone formation. The purpose of this study was to coat a hydroxyapatite-titanium implant with mBMP and evaluate bone healing across a bone-implant gap in the sheep femoral condyle. The mBMP molecules efficiently bound to a hydroxyapatite-titanium implant and 64% of the initially bound mBMP molecules were released in a sustained manner over 28 days. The results demonstrated that the mBMP-coated implant group had significantly more mineralized bone filling in the implant-bone gap than the control group in C-arm computed tomography (DynaCT) scanning (25% more), histological (35% more) and microradiographic images (50% more). Push-out stiffness of the mBMP group was nearly 40% greater than that of control group whereas peak force did not show a significant difference. The results of this study demonstrated that mBMP coated on a hydroxyapatite-titanium implant stimulates new bone formation and may be useful to improve implant fixation in total joint arthroplasty applications. 相似文献

Orthopaedic implant fixation is strongly dependant upon the effective mechanical properties of newly formed tissue. In this study, we evaluated the potential of modal analysis to derive viscoelastic properties of periprosthetic tissue. We hypothesized that Young's modulus and loss factor could be obtained by a combined theoretical, computational and experimental modal analysis approach. This procedure was applied to ex vivo specimens from a cylindrical experimental implant placed in cancellous bone in an unloaded press-fit configuration, obtained after a four week observation period. Four sections each from seven textured titanium implants were investigated. The first resonant frequency and loss factor were measured. Average experimentally determined loss factor was 2% (SD 0.4%) and average first resonant frequency was 2.1 KHz (SD: 50). A 2D axisymmetric finite element (FE) model identified effective Young's modulus of tissue using experimental resonant frequencies as input. Average value was 42 MPa (SD: 2.4) and no significant difference between specimens was observed.In this pilot study, the non-destructive method allowed accurate measure of dynamic loss factor and resonant frequency and derivation of effective Young's modulus. Prior to implementing this dynamic protocol for broader mechanical evaluation of experimental implant fixation, further work is needed to determine if this affects results from subsequent destructive shear push-out tests. 相似文献

Finite element analysis is a useful analytical tool for the design of biomedical implants. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of temporomandibular joint implants with multiple design variables of the screws used for fixation of the implant. A commercially available implant with full mandible was analyzed using a finite element software package. The effects of different design variables such as orientation, diameter and stem length of the screws on the stress distribution in bone for two different surgical procedures were investigated. Considering the microstrain in bone as a principal factor, the acceptable ranges for screw diameter and length were determined. Parallel orientation of the screws performed better from a stress point of view when compared to the zig-zag orientation. Sufficient contact between the implant collar and mandibular condyle was shown to reduce the peak stresses which may lead to long term success. The distance between screw holes in the parallel orientation was much closer when compared to the zig-zag orientation. However, the stresses in bone near the screw hole area for the parallel orientation were within acceptable limits. 相似文献

Kinetics of chondrocyte growth in cell-polymer implants 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In vitro cultivation of cartilage cells (chondrocytes) on biodegradable polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffolds resulted in implants which could potentially be used to repair damaged joint cartilage or for reconstructive surgery. Cell growth kinetics were studied to define conditions under which the cellularity of implants made from isolated calf chondrocytes reached that of the parent calf cartilage. In static cultures, condrocyte growth rates decreased as either implant thickness or implant cell density increased. Over 4 weeks of cultivation, implant permeability to glucose decreased to 3% that of the plain polymer scaffold; this effect was attributed to the decrease in effective implant porosity associated with cartilage tissue regeneration.In a well-mixed culture, implants 1 cm in diameter by 0.3 cm thick maintained high cell growth rates over 7 weeks and hard normal cell densities. Regenerated cartilage with these dimensions is large enough to resurface small joints such as the trapezium bone at the base of the human thumb. Such implants could not be grown statically, since cell growth stopped at 3-4 weeks and cell densities remained below normal. Optimization of the tissue culture environment is thus essential in order to cultivate clinically useful cartilage implants in vitro. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

To date, analysis of temperature in the drill area of cortical bone have been limited to measurements with thermocouple systems at a certain distance from the drill hole. Many authors equate this temperature measurement with the drill--cortical bone interface temperature. In order show that there is a temperature difference, a drill hole was simulated with the aid of the "Finite Element Method". The interface temperature was calculated by the energy distribution. It was shown, that for "dry" and "watercooled" drilling, the drill hole temperature was 13 degrees C higher than the temperature measured with the thermocouple systems at a distance 0.5 mm of from the drill hole. In particular when using "watercooled" drills for bone and dental surgery, the temperature may be higher than the bone damage limit of 44 degrees C for lengthy and 50 degrees C for brief drilling. 相似文献

The current study has investigated the use of decellularised, demineralised bone extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel constructs for in vivo tissue mineralisation and bone formation. Stro-1-enriched human bone marrow stromal cells were incorporated together with select growth factors including VEGF, TGF-β3, BMP-2, PTHrP and VitD3, to augment bone formation, and mixed with alginate for structural support. Growth factors were delivered through fast (non-osteogenic factors) and slow (osteogenic factors) release PLGA microparticles. Constructs of 5 mm length were implanted in vivo for 28 days within mice. Dense tissue assessed by micro-CT correlated with histologically assessed mineralised bone formation in all constructs. Exogenous growth factor addition did not enhance bone formation further compared to alginate/bone ECM (ALG/ECM) hydrogels alone. UV irradiation reduced bone formation through degradation of intrinsic growth factors within the bone ECM component and possibly also ECM cross-linking. BMP-2 and VitD3 rescued osteogenic induction. ALG/ECM hydrogels appeared highly osteoinductive and delivery of angiogenic or chondrogenic growth factors led to altered bone formation. All constructs demonstrated extensive host tissue invasion and vascularisation aiding integration and implant longevity. The proposed hydrogel system functioned without the need for growth factor incorporation or an exogenous inducible cell source. Optimal growth factor concentrations and spatiotemporal release profiles require further assessment, as the bone ECM component may suffer batch variability between donor materials. In summary, ALG/ECM hydrogels provide a versatile biomaterial scaffold for utilisation within regenerative medicine which may be tailored, ultimately, to form the tissue of choice through incorporation of select growth factors. 相似文献

The osseointegration of titanium dental implants is a complex process and there is a need for systematization of the factors influencing anchoring of implant. A common way of analyzing the strength of the fixation in bone is by measuring the torque required to remove the implants after healing. In this paper, a global biomechanical model is introduced and derived for removal torque situations. In this model, a gap is allowed to form between the bone and the implant and the size of the gap at fracture is a function of the surface roughness and can be shown to be directly related to the mean slope of the surface. The interfacial shear strength increases almost linearly with the mean slope and was also found to increase with an increase in the 2D surface roughness parameter, R(a). Besides the surface roughness, the design of the implant, the bone anatomy and the bone quality were shown to influence the interfacial shear strength. The Global biomechanical model can be used as a tool for optimizing the implant design and the surface topography to obtain high anchoring strength. 相似文献

Uncemented femoral total hip components rely entirely on contact with the prepared femur for their initial fixation. The contact areas and stresses between a straight tubular bone and a metal cylindrical prosthesis 12.5 cm long and 13 mm in diameter were calculated in a finite element model which includes uniform diametral gaps varying from 20 to 500 microns, using transverse loads from 100 to 2000 N. Frictionless three-dimensional contact elements were used between the bone and the prosthesis. Contact stresses were high and irregular in all cases, and the contact areas were small. Two regions of contact were apparent for lower loads and larger gaps. A third region of contact occurred near the distal tip of the implant at higher loads. This region of contact markedly increased the contact stresses at the distal tip of the prosthesis. A 20 microns overlap between bone and implant was modelled to assess a slight interference fit. The contact stress distribution in this case was markedly different from the stress distribution with a 20 microns diametral gap. The data collectively indicates that gaps of less than 20 microns between bone and implant can substantially change contact stress distributions. 相似文献

AbstractTracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) were isolated from dog trachea in order to analyze the direct effects of growth factors and hormones on cell proliferation and muscarinic receptor (mAchR) expression. Dissection and dissociation of tracheal smooth muscle tissue with a collagenase I, deoxyribonuclease I and elastase IV mixture resulted in high yield and viability of TSMCs. A screen of growth factors, hormones, and serum concentration for the stimulation of cell growth, reveald that insulin-like growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, insulin, transferrin, or hydrocortisone alone at the concentration used was not necessary or sufficient to stimulate growth of TSMCs in the primary culture with DMEM/F-12 containing 1% FBS. The regulation of cell surface mAchR expression in response to serum and cell growth in primary culture of TSMCs has been examined. In the presence of 1% serum, TSMCs withdraw from the cell cycle and express high levels of cell surface mAchRs. Exposure of quiescent TSMCs to 10% serum results in a loss of surface mAchRs. In addition, insulin-like growth factor, insulin or transferrin could stimulate the expression of mAchRs on TSMCs cultured in DMEM/F-12 containing 1% FBS. The results demonstrated that low serum concentration culture system may provide a useful model to elucidate the expression of mAchRs in the culture of TSMCs. 相似文献

Good mechanical fixation of an implant to the surrounding bone is important for its longevity, and is influenced by both biological and mechanical factors. This study parametrically evaluates the mechanics of the interface with a computationally efficient analytic structural model of the shear stress field and global shear stiffness of an axially loaded implant. The utility of the analytic model was first established by validating its assumptions with a case-specific finite element model. We then used the analytic model for a sensitivity analysis of the relationship between the pattern of tissue growth and shear properties of the interface for our previously reported loaded in vivo experimental micromotion device. The bone located directly at the implant surface was found to be the most effective site for increasing interface stiffness. This suggests that the implant surface is the most desirable site for bone growth, yet is also the most mechanically challenging environment due to its maximal shear stresses. Thus, these findings support the further investigation of osteo-conductive coatings and other biological stimuli to overcome the challenging mechanics, and to promote bone growth directly at the implant surface. The model also demonstrated that the mechanical contribution to the global implant shear stiffness of a commonly observed isolated sclerotic bone rim is very limited. The results of this sensitivity analysis agree with experimental studies with the micromotion device, and with clinical studies reporting good results with osteo-conductive coatings. 相似文献

A common technique to aid in implant fixation into surrounding bone is to inject bone cement into the space between the implant and surrounding bone. The most common bone cement material used clinically today is poly(methyl methacrylate), or PMMA. Although promising, there are numerous disadvantages of using PMMA in bone fixation applications which has limited its wide spread use. Specifically, the PMMA polymerization reaction is highly exothermic in situ, thus, damaging surrounding bone tissue while curing. In addition, PMMA by itself is not visible using typical medical imaging techniques (such as X-rays required to assess new bone formation surrounding the implant). Lastly, although PMMA does support new bone growth, studies have highlighted decreased osteoblast (bone forming cell) functions on PMMA compared to other common orthopedic coating materials, such as calcium phosphates and hydroxyapatite. For these reasons, the goal of this study was to begin to investigate novel additives to PMMA which can enhance its cytocompatibility properties with osteoblasts, decrease its exothermic reaction when curing, and increase its radiopacity. Results of this study demonstrated that compared to conventional (or micron) equivalents, PMMA with nanoparticles of MgO and BaSO4 reduced harmful exothermic reactions of PMMA during solidification and increased radiopacity, respectively. Moreover, osteoblast adhesion increased on PMMA with nanoparticles of MgO and BaSO4 compared with PMMA alone. This study, thus, suggests that nanoparticles of MgO and BaSO4 should be further studied for improving properties of PMMA for orthopedic applications. 相似文献

Bone ingrowth into a porous coated implant predicted by a mechano-regulatory tissue differentiation algorithm 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bone ingrowth into a porous surface is one of the primary methods for fixation of orthopaedic implants. Improved understanding of bone formation and fixation of these devices should improve their performance and longevity. In this study predictions of bone ingrowth into an implant porous coating were investigated using mechano-reculatory models. The mechano-regulatory tissue differentiation algorithm proposed by Lacroix et al., and a modified version that enforces a tissue differentiation pathway by transitioning from differentiation to bone adaptation were investigated. The modified algorithm resulted in nearly the same behavior as the original algorithm when applied to a fracture-healing model. The algorithms were further compared using micromechanical finite element model of a beaded porous scaffold. Predictions of bone and fibrous tissue formation were compared between the two algorithms and to clinically observed phenomena. Under loading conditions corresponding to a press-fit hip stem, the modified algorithm predicted bone ingrowth into approximately 25% of the pore space, which is similar to that reported in experimental studies, while the original algorithm was unstable. When micromotion at the bone-implant interface was simulated, 20 mum of transverse displacement resulted in soft tissue formation at the bone-implant interface and minimal bone ingrowth. In contrast, 10 and 5 mum of micromotion resulted in bone filling 40% of the pore space and a stable interface, again consistent with clinical and experimental observations. 相似文献

The first objective of this computational study was to assess the strain magnitude and distribution within the three-dimensional (3D) trabecular bone structure around an osseointegrated dental implant loaded axially. The second objective was to investigate the relative micromotions between the implant and the surrounding bone. The work hypothesis adopted was that these virtual measurements would be a useful indicator of bone adaptation (resorption, homeostasis, formation).In order to reach these objectives, a μCT-based finite element model of an oral implant implanted into a Berkshire pig mandible was developed along with a robust software methodology. The finite element mesh of the 3D trabecular bone architecture was generated from the segmentation of μCT scans. The implant was meshed independently from its CAD file obtained from the manufacturer. The meshes of the implant and the bone sample were registered together in an integrated software environment. A series of non-linear contact finite element (FE) analyses considering an axial load applied to the top of the implant in combination with three sets of mechanical properties for the trabecular bone tissue was devised. Complex strain distribution patterns are reported and discussed. It was found that considering the Young’s modulus of the trabecular bone tissue to be 5, 10 and 15 GPa resulted in maximum peri-implant bone microstrains of about 3000, 2100 and 1400. These results indicate that, for the three sets of mechanical properties considered, the magnitude of maximum strain lies within an homeostatic range known to be sufficient to maintain/form bone. The corresponding micro-motions of the implant with respect to the bone microstructure were shown to be sufficiently low to prevent fibrous tissue formation and to favour long-term osseointegration. 相似文献

PurposeThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the systemic biological effect of increased exercise on bone repair after stable fracture fixation.MethodsTwo groups of SKH-1 h mice were studied. Animals of the first group (n=36) were housed in cages supplied with a running wheel, while mice of the second group (n=37) were housed in standard cages for control. Using a closed femur fracture model, bone repair was analysed by histomorphometry and biomechanical testing at 2 and 5 weeks. At 2 weeks, we additionally evaluated the expression of the proliferation marker PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and the angiogenic and osteogenic growth factor VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). To standardise the mechanical conditions in the fracture gap, we used an intramedullary compression screw for stable fracture fixation.ResultsEach mouse of the exercise group run a mean total distance of 23.5 km after 2 weeks and 104.3 km after 5 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis of the size and tissue composition of the callus could not reveal significant differences between mice undergoing exercise and controls. Accordingly, biomechanical testing showed a comparable torsional stiffness, peak rotation angle, and load at failure of the healing bones in the two groups. The expression of PCNA and VEGF did also not differ between mice of the exercise group and controls.ConclusionWe conclude that increased exercise does not affect bone repair after stable fracture fixation. 相似文献

A mathematical framework to study the effects of growth factor influences on fracture healing 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
During fracture healing, multipotential stem cells differentiate into specialized cells responsible for producing the different tissues involved in the bone regeneration process. This cell differentiation has been shown to be regulated by locally expressed growth factors. The details of their regulatory mechanisms need to be understood. In this work, we present a two-dimensional mathematical model of the bone healing process for moderate fracture gap sizes and fracture stability. The inflammatory and tissue regeneration stages of healing are simulated by modeling mesenchymal cell migration; mesenchymal cell, chondrocyte and osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation over time. The effects of two generic growth factors on cell differentiation are based on the experimentally studied chondrogenic and osteogenic effects of bone morphogenetic proteins-2 and 4 and transforming growth factor-beta-1, respectively. The model successfully simulates the progression of healing and predicts that the rate of osteogenic growth factor production by osteoblasts and the duration of the initial release of growth factors upon injury are particularly important parameters for complete ossification and successful healing. This temporo-spatial model of fracture healing is the first model to consider the effects of growth factors. It will help us understand the regulatory mechanisms involved in bone regeneration and provides a mathematical framework with which to design experiments and understand pathological conditions. 相似文献

Morphogen gradients provide unique positional information within a tissue. Cells that are sensitive to the concentration of the morphogen integrate this signal and develop an appropriately distinct cell fate. A morphogen gradient is usually generated by a restricted source and shaped by the speed of diffusion and stability of the signaling molecule. In addition, the availability of receptor and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans (HSPGs) help to shape the gradient. We have shown that overexpression of Dally-like protein (Dlp) causes an expansion of Gurken distribution and a loss of cell fates which are specified by high levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr) signaling. In this article, we discuss how D-Cbl mediated Egfr endocytosis and the levels of Dlp affect the shape of the Gurken gradient. 相似文献
