Objective To observe the effect of biological fixation of femoral stem prosthesis with multilayer macropores coating by combined use of autologousbone grafting. Methods The reconstructing femoral stem prostheses were designed personally, proximal 2/3 surfaces of which were reformed by thick multilayer stereo pore structure. Twentyfour adult mongrel canines underwent right femoralhead replacement and were divided randomly into two groups. The autogenous bonemud of femoral head and neck were not used in the control group. The histologicexamination, roentgenograms and biomechanical test were carried out in the 1st,3rd and 6th month after operation to observe the bone formation and fixation inthe exterior and interior sides of the prostheses. Results Onthe whole view,bone reconstruction occurred in experimental group in the 3rd and 6th month. Roentgenograms also proved to be superior to the control group. Histological examinationshowed that both the maximum bone inserting depth(μm) and average engorging ratio(%) of newly formed bone in experimental group surpassed those in the control group. The maximum shear strength of prosthesisbone interface in experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P lt;0.01). Conclusion Intensity of biological fixation can be strengthened remarkably by using femoral stem prothesis with multilayer macropores coating by combined use of autologous bone grafting.
