## Abstract For the last 15 years, orthopedic implants have been coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) to improve implant fixation. The osteoconductive effect of HA coatings has been demonstrated in experimental and clinical studies. However, there are ongoing developments to improve the quality of HA co

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating with different crystallinities were deposited by plasma spraying and vapor‐flame treatment process. Their crystallinities are about 55 and 98%, respectively. These coatings were implanted in cortical bone, muscle, and marrow of dogs. The dissolution and osseointegration behavior were evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation histological analysis. The results obtained indicated that after implanted in muscle, a bone‐like apatite layer was formed on the surface of as‐sprayed coating, which was not observed on the surface of the treated coating. The as‐sprayed coating has the ability to induce new bone formation on its surface after implanted in marrow. In contrast, the treated coating displays a limited bone bioactivity. The vapor‐flame process diminishes the short‐term osseointegration properties of the HA coating, but no significant affection was found after three months implantation. Either in muscle or in cortical bone, treated coating exhibits higher stability than the as‐sprayed coating, in some conditions. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2005

## Abstract The clinical use of plasma‐sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on metal implants has been widely adopted because the HA coating can achieve the firmly and directly biological fixation with the surrounding bone tissue. However, the long‐term mechanical properties of HA coatings has been
## Abstract Research efforts aim at enhancing early osseointegration of cementless implants to improve early fixation and, thus, reduce the risk of loosening. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 had a positive effect on the osseointegration of
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of coating characteristics on the mechanical strengths of the plasma-sprayed HA-coated Ti-6Al-4V implant system both in vitro and in vivo. Two types of HA coatings (HACs) with quite different microstructures, concentrations of impurityphases, and indi
To standardize industrial implant production and make comparisons between different experimental results, we have to be able to quantify the crystallinity of hydroxyapatite. Methods of measuring crystallinity ratio were developed for various HA samples before and after plasma spraying. The first ser
