  • Domestic artificial cervical disc interface pressure distribution and effect of bone-implant interface pressure on osseointegration

    Objective To analyze the distribution of stress in the upper and lower plates of the prosthesis-bone interface, and the effect of interface pressure on osseointegration. Methods CT scanning was performed on goats at 1 week after artificial cervical disc replacement to establish the finite element model of C3, 4. The stress distribution of the upper and lower plates of the interface was observed. At 6 and 12 months after replacement, Micro-CT scan and three dimensional reconstruction were performed to measure the bone volume fraction (BVF), trabecular number (Tb. N), trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), trabecular separation (Tb. Sp), bone mineral density (BMD), bone surface/bone volume (BS/BV), and trabecular pattern factor (Tb. Pf). The C3 lower plate and C4 upper plate of 4 normal goat were chosen to made the cylinder of the diameter of 2 mm. The gene expressions of receptor activator for nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) were detected by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR at immediate after cutting and at 24 and 48 hours after culture. The samples of appropriate culture time were selected to made mechanical loading, and the gene expressions of RANKL, OPG, M-CSF, and TGF-β were detected by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR; no mechanical loading samples were used as normal controls. Results Under 25 N axial loading, the stress of the upper plate of C3, 4 was concentrated to post median region, and the stress of the lower plate to middle-front region and two orbits. According to stress, the plate was divided into 5 regions. The Micro-CT scan showed that BMD, Tb.Th, BVF, and Tb.N significantly increased, and BS/BV, Tb.Sp, and Tb.Pf significantly decreased at 12 months after replacement when compared with ones at 6 months (P<0.05). At 24 and 48 hours after culture, the gene expressions of RANKL, OPG, and TGF-β were signifi-cantly higher than those at immediate (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between at 24 and 48 hours after culture (P>0.05). The mechanical loading test results at 24 hours after culture showed that the RANKL and OPG gene expressions and OPG/RANKL ratio in C3 lower plate and C4 upper plate were significantly up-regulated when compared with controls (P<0.05), but no significant difference was shown in TGF-β and M-CSF gene expressions (P>0.05). Conclusion Domestic artificial cervical disc endplate has different pressure distribution, the stress of lower plate is higher than that of upper plate. Pressure has important effect on local osseointegration; the higher pressure area is, the osseointegration is better. Under the maximum pressure in interface, the osteoblast proliferation will increase, which is advantageous to the local osseointegration.
