Electrochemical study of uncemented hip endoprosthesis cups
Journal Title: Engineering of Biomaterials / Inżynieria Biomateriałów - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 132
Abstract
The aim of the research was to compare the properties of the new cup and the cup after alloplastic revision surgery which has been staying in the human body for 68 months. In the studies chemical composition, mechanical and physicochemical properties were analyzed. The properties were analyzed on the basis of studies of glow discharge atomic emission, measurements of hardness and potentiodynamic studies of resistance to pitting corrosion and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrochemical research was conducted in Ringer’s solution. Additionally, analysis of the macroscopic surface was conducted. The results revealed that the cups were produced from high nitrogen stainless steel which chemical composition and mechanical properties met the requirements of the ISO 5832-9 standards. The results of hardness revealed areas with varied strengthening of the cup’s biomaterial. Parameters of the corrosion resistance for the cup after implantation were comparable to the values obtained for the cup in the initial state. Additionally, EIS study determined the nature of the oxide layer on the surface of the implant removed from the body. The results showed the existence of a double layer forming good protection of the metal biomaterial against corrosion. The performed macroscopic observation revealed the presence of hydroxyapatite on the surface of the cup after the 68 months in the body. We conclude that the reason for revision arthroplasty was the lack of osteointegration of the outer surface of the implant caused by non- -uniform adhesion of the implant to the bone surface. However, no reduction in corrosion resistance of the cup after implantation was observed which indicates its biocompatibility in the tissue environment.
