Definitions
- the invention relates to an open-pore biocompatible surface layer for an implant according to the preamble of patent claim 1, an implant according to the preamble of patent claim 2 and a method for producing an open-pore biocompatible surface layer for or as an implant according to the preamble of patent claim 18, an implant with or from such a surface layer according to the preamble of patent claim 23 and a use of the surface layer for implants according to the preamble of patent claim 24.
- Implants and especially joint and bone replacement implants are becoming increasingly important in restorative and curative medicine.
- joint or bone replacement implants these are cemented cementlessly in the bone according to the current state of the art.
- a key factor in the success of such cementless anchoring of a metallic orthopedic implant to or in a bone is the rate at which bone tissue bonds to the implant. This speed is critically dependent on the type and structuring of the surface of the metallic implant. For this reason, such surfaces have in the past been provided with a predefined surface roughness, optionally additionally having a bioactive coating applied to the metal substrate of the metallic orthopedic implant.
- Porous layers, in particular open-porous structures, which have a pore size which allows ingrowth of bone tissue into these, usually metallic, structures have hitherto proven suitable for producing such surface layers which promote the growth of bone cells.
- porous structures have a thickness in the range of 1 mm or more in current joint and bone replacement implants. Such a thickness is necessary and useful with regard to a good and stable connection between bone and implant, but is problematic in that a good connection between implant and bone is only guaranteed if the porous structure is at least predominantly, but preferably completely, is crossed by ingrown bone tissue. Due to the high thickness of the porous structure, it is therefore essential in terms of achieving a good and stable connection between implant and bone that a ingrowth of bone tissue in the porous structure as quickly as possible take place so that contact between bone cells and porous structure possible forms quickly and comprehensively and stabilizes the connection between implant and bone in this way.
- the ingrowth of bone into an open-porous structure represents a multi-step process in which bone cells together with blood vessels for nutrient and oxygen supply to the bone cells and the later bone in the pores of the open-porous structure must immigrate to the largest possible and stable connection of the bone cells and the later bone with the pores, respectively, to ensure the particular inner surface of the open-pore structure and thus the implant.
- an important aspect of ingrowing bone cells into a porous structure is the fact that bone cells can not migrate directly into an empty cavity, but always require a surface in the form of a substrate or matrix to which they adhere and along which they are divide and "move" in this way.
- bone tissue ingrowth-promoting surfaces have been provided in the form of porous surfaces which were either uncoated or provided with a thin surface coating which typically contained calcium phosphate.
- the pores were so large in relation to bone cells that, although a lengthening of the bone cells along the pore matrix, ie their inner surface, took place, but the pores over a geraumen period hollow and vacancies that were not filled with bone tissue, since the bone was very slowly from the wall regions of the pores in the direction of pore cavity.
- this had the disadvantage that the bone on the implant or pore surface formed only a thin layer whose, in particular mechanical, stability was low, so that the connection between the implant and bone was not allowed or only extremely cautious , Only with complete ingrowth of the bone into the entire pore cavities, the latter being filled up with bone tissue, a stable and reliable connection between bone and implant was formed.
- a coating of the implant with hydroxyapatite which was preferably applied by means of plasma spraying, was often performed.
- a disadvantage of this method is that the pores of the implant layer starting only from the implant surface and only superficially can be coated with hydroxyapatite and the coating often does not reach to the bottom of the pore. Rather, there is the risk that the pores are clogged at the opening side when using this method, so that the pore bottom is no longer accessible for a coating.
- such a hydroxyapatite coating has a low solubility under physiological conditions so that bone cells can not penetrate into deeper layers of the coating and can not fully penetrate into the hydroxyapatite coating.
- a significant disadvantage of the method there is, inter alia, that only a coating of pores is possible, which extends from the implant surface substantially perpendicular to this extend.
- a coating of transverse pores in a three-dimensional pore network is not possible with this plasma spray coating method, so that a further disadvantage of the local method is that at best a bone growth to a joint replacement implant, but no actual bone ingrowth into a three-dimensional pore structure of an implant , as described for example in WO 2007/051519, is possible.
- the object of the invention is to provide an open-pore biocompatible surface layer having a three-dimensional pore structure into which a rapid and space-filling ingrowth of osteoblasts is possible, as well as the provision of a method for producing such an open-pored biocompatible surface layer. Furthermore, it is the object of the invention to provide an implant with or consisting of such a surface layer as well as its use for implants.
- the object is achieved by an open-pored biocompatible surface layer, wherein pores of the surface layer are at least partially, preferably at least 30% and particularly preferably completely filled with a filling material.
- this open-pored biocompatible surface layer is arranged on a raw surface of a substrate that is present as an implant or as an implant blank.
- the open-pore biocompatible surface layer is self-supporting and forms the implant itself without the need for a substrate.
- the latter variant is particularly advantageous when the implant is not intended to carry out any essential supporting function but, for example, a filling and / or stabilizing and / or connecting function.
- the open-pored surface layer can be formed entirely from a metal foam or have a metal foam.
- Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous in the case of a self-supporting structure of the open-pore biocompatible surface layer.
- the filling material is soluble under physiological conditions and / or, in particular by migrating osteoblasts, resorbable and preferably bioactive.
- the essential essence of the invention is that by a filling of, in an open-pore biocompatible surface layer of an implant, existing pores with a filling material, the free pore volume of the pores in the surface layer is reduced, wherein the filler in turn preferably has a bioactivity and preferably by ingrowing osteoblasts and from these resulting bone tissue at least partially, preferably for the most part, can be absorbed.
- the filling material in turn has a micro- and nano-pore structure and / or a three-dimensional matrix structure into which ingrowth and migration of osteoblasts is possible.
- micro- and nano-pores The free cross-section of these micro- and nano-pores is reduced by a factor in the range of 100 to 10,000 compared to the cross-section of the pores of the surface layer, so that in these micro- and nanopores ingrowing cells, for example osteoblasts, which receive the filler present there and / or Due to the small internal volume and the larger inner surface of the micro- and nanopores, these micro- and nanopores can be filled almost completely within a few days to weeks.
- micropores and nanopores in the context of this invention, a three-dimensional matrix, for example in the form of a gel or in the form of a preferably surface-rich leaf, mesh or honeycomb structure, such as this example in a Silica gel, a pebble xerogel or silica sol as well as in silica hydrosols present.
- the osteoblasts can migrate into this three-dimensional matrix or into the micropore space of the filling material and adhere and grow to solid constituents of the filling material.
- a filling of the pore space of the surface layer emanates not only from a wall of pores of the surface layer, but also from the first empty according to the prior art space within the originally free, respectively empty pore volume of the surface layer pores, now However, according to the invention filled with the aforementioned bioactive and preferably resorbable filling material.
- the pores of the open-pored surface layer are connected to form a coherent three-dimensional pore network, wherein the surface layer is formed as a framework structure and at least a plurality of pores via at least one lateral opening formed in a lateral boundary of the pore is, channel and / or tunnel-like communicate with each other in communication.
- Such a framework structure has proven to be particularly advantageous, since a particularly firm connection between the bone tissue and the framework structure and thus also the implant on which the framework structure is formed can be achieved by ingrowth of bone tissue into such a framework structure.
- a particularly firm connection between the bone tissue and the framework structure and thus also the implant on which the framework structure is formed can be achieved by ingrowth of bone tissue into such a framework structure.
- tunnel-like interconnected pores takes place a mutual enclosure of skeletal structure material and bone tissue, so that such a compound can be claimed not only on pressure, but excellently on train without the bone cells detach from the implant surface, as a in the surface layer of ingrown bone tissue can completely penetrate the pore network and in this way builds up a bone structure which extends through the pore network and also runs within the surface layer or the framework structure.
- the ingrowing bone tissue traverses and undermines the surface of the surface layer or the contiguous pore network in a manner which ensures an intimate connection of the surface layer with the bone tissue and prevents detachment of the bone tissue from the surface layer, for example under tensile load.
- the thickness of the surface layer or the framework structure according to the invention is in the range of 0.1 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably in the range of 0.3 mm to 1.9 mm and particularly preferably in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.
