Currently favored Biomaterials in total hip replacementsBhaskarBorgohain4
It was Sir John Charnley who popularized total hip replacement after his phenomenal success using PMMA cold curing bone cement to perform cemented hip replacements. His method of fixation still remains the gold standard for component fixation especially for the femoral stem. Over the years cementless or uncemented designs have come into application to avoid risk of cement related complications. Similarly metal on polyethylene articulation has been criticized for PE wear and aseptic osteolysis. This led to increasing use of ceramic head on highly cross linked PE cup articulation. Metal on metal designs came and gone due to the problem of metalosis and pseudotumors. Ceramic on ceramic articulation is reportedly best in terms of wear rates. Hybrid hip replacements are also increasing especially in younger patients of AVN. Accelerated biotechnological developments are happening in this field to improve long term outcomes and implant survival.

Biomaterials were defined as “any substance, other than a drug, or a combination of substances, synthetic or natural in origin, which can be used for any period of time, as a whole or as a part of a system, which treats, augments or replaces any tissue, organ or function of the body”
Nano-composite scaffolds based on electrospun nanofibers have gained great attention due to their ability to emulate natural extracellular matrix (ECM) that affects cell survival, attachment and reorganization.
Promoted protein absorption, cellular reactions, activation of specific gene expression and intracellular signaling, and high surface area to volume ratio are also important properties of nanofibrous scaffolds.
Moreover, several bioactive components, such as bioceramics and functional polymers can be easily blended into nanofibrous matrixes to regulate the physical-chemical-biological properties and regeneration abilities.
Simultaneously, functional growth factors, proteins and drugs are also incorporated to regulate cellular reactions and even modify the local inflammatory microenvironment, which benefit periodontal regeneration and functional restoration

2. BIOMATERIAL
Any substance that has been specifically engineered to interact with biological systems for
Medical/Veterinary use.
Any substance or combination of substances synthetic or natural in origin which can be used for
any period of time as a whole or as a part of a system which treats, augments or replaces any
tissue,organ or function of the body.
Eg:Sutures,bone plates,Screws,Cardiac pacemaker etc..
3. Uses of biomaterials
Use of biomaterials Example
Replacement of diseased and damaged
part
Artificial hip joint
Assist in healing Sutures, bone plates and screws
Improve function Cardiac pacemaker, intra-ocular lens
Aid to diagnosis Probes and catheters
Aid to treatment Catheters
4. IDEAL IMPLANT CHARACTERISTICS
Complete biological inertness
Sufficient strength to hold during healing
Good handling characteristics
Easily sterilizable, Non allergic
Non corrosive, Non toxic
Non carcinogenic, Non teratogenic
It should be inexpensive
5. BIOCOMPATIBILITYAND HOST RESPONCE
Biocompatibility — The ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a
specific application.
Host Response — The response of the host organism (local and systemic) to the implanted
material or device.
Biocompatibility evaluation include evaluation for toxicological effects and blood compatibility.
Toxicity of the material is estimated on the basis of chemical constituents and both in vitro and in
vivo testing.
Materials with good blood compatibility are those which do not denature plasma proteins,
induce thrombus formation or damage blood elements.
6. TISSUE RESPONSE TO IMPLANT MATERIALS
Local response
Systemic response
Four types of responses may occur:
Minimal response: in it a thin layer of fibrous tissue is formed adjacent to the implant.
Chemically induced response: in it an acute mild inflammatory response occurs or a chronic
inflammatory response develops
Physically induced response: it is an inflammatory response to particulate material or toimplant
movement in conjugation with shape or surface roughness.
Necrosis.
7. SELECTION OF PROPER BIOMATERIAL
The choice of a specific biomedical material is determined by consideration of the following:
1- A proper specification of the desired function for the material
2- An accurate characterization of the environment in which it must function, and the effects that
environment will have on the properties of the material
3- A delineation of the length of time the material must function
8. IMPLANT FORMS
1 Sutures: these are the materials used to close the wound. They remain intact until union occurs
and cause minimal tissue reaction.
2. Meshes: surgical meshes are used to repair diaphragmatic, abdominal and peritoneal hernias
and to close and provide support to thoracic wall defects after segmental rib removal.
nonabsorbable meshes are polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene and polylropylene meshes.
Absorbable meshes are polyglactin 910 and polyglycolic acid meshes.
9. . Tubular implants: These are made primarily of synthetic nonabsorbable polymers and materials
such as silicon rubber and polyvinyl chloride.
These may be coated with other substances to enhance biocompatibility and improve longevity.
Eg:Coating of Urinary catheters of dog with sustained-release varnish of chlorhexidine to increase
efficacy. Segev et al. (2013)
Solid implants: These are mainly made of ceramics and metal materials. These are coated with
biocompatible coatings to decrease thrombogenicity or to enhance bone growth.
11. METALS
The most commonly used metallic implant materials are stainless steel type 316L, cobalt-
chromium alloys and titanium & its alloys.
Stainless steel type 316L: it is composed of iron(55- 60%), chromium (17-20%), nickel(10-
14%),molybdenum(2-4%) and carbon. It is used as surgical suture, surgical staples and orthopedic
implants. . Steiner et al. (1992)
Karen et al. (2007)
12.
13. 2. Cobalt-chromium alloys: These are used as orthopedic implants and allows the best
combination of abrasion resistance, low corrosion characteristics and high fatigue strength.
3. Titanium & its alloys: Titanium is most resistant to corrosion of metal implants and is most
brittle. It is very expensive and is used as surgical staples and orthopedic bone plates and screws
Voss et al. (2009)
14. CERAMICS
Ceramics are used for the repair and restoration of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo-
skeletal system. Bio-ceramics may be:
1- Bioinert like Alumina (Al2O3), Zirconia (ZrO2)
2- Resorbable like tri-calcium phosphate (TCP)
3- Bioactive like Hydroxyapatite, bioactive glasses, and glass-ceramics
4- Porous for tissue in-growth (hydroxyapatite)
15. ADHESIVES
Autologous fibrin:It is composed of fibronectin, thrombin, apoprotin, fibrinogen, factor Xlll and
calcium chloride and is obtained by collecting plasma from the animal before surgery. It is used
for fixation of skin grafts and stabilization of nerve anastomoses. Visser et al. (2011)
Cyanoacrylates: These polymerize in the presence of moisture to produce a strong flexible bond.
These are used for closure of skin incisions, tail docking ear cropping etc
Fabrice et al. (2013)
16. HEMOSTATIC AGENTS
Absorbable gelatin sponge: It is prepared from purified gelatin solution. It is supplied as small
gelatin sheets that may be cut to the desired size and held in place.
Oxidized regenerated cellulose: produced by controlled oxidation of regenerated cellulose.
Bone wax: it is a mixture of bee wax, paraffin and isopropyl palmitate. Bone wax controls
bleeding from bone surface by acting as a mechanical barrier. Suwanpratheeb et al. (2014)
Collagen absorbable hemostat: it comes in the form of a sponge like pad. Absorption occurs by
phagocytosis and monocytic enzymatic degradation
17. CONCLUSION
