We sought to address the question: Can metallic surfaces be rendered bone-bonding? We employed dual acid-etched (DAE) commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) custom-made rectangular coupons (1.3 mm ร 2.5 mm ร 4 mm) with, or without, further modification by the discrete crystal

Abstract
An attempt has been made to define the conditions with respect to movement under which porous metal will bond to bone. It has already been shown that bone will grow into the pore of porous Vitallium under static conditions and under conditions of micromovement, as when stressed by the pull of a tendon. An experiment is described in which porous Vitallium staples were inserted across an unstable osteotomy site. No bonding occurred indicating that bone ingrowth will not occur in the presence of movement of this order of magnitude.
The implication of this observation in the design of porous coated endoprostheses is that some form of initial mechanical fixation is required, and this fixation must remain rigid for four months to allow bone ingrowth.

## Abstract Experiments have been devised to study the rate of ingrowth of bone into porous metal with pore sizes up to 100 ฮผ and to study the significance of a gap between the porous metal surface and bone. When the porous coat was in direct apposition with bone, the implant was firmly locked in
Plates of calcite (CaC03) were implanted in rabbit tibiae, and their biocompatibility and bonding ability to bone were studied. The plates were also implanted subfascially in rabbit muscle for 8 weeks, and changes on their surfaces in the body were examined. Contact microradiography and Giemsa surfa
We examined the influence of the proportion of glass-ceramic powder in a bioactive bone cement of our formula on the bone-bonding ability of cement. Changes in cement bonding with time also were examined. The bioactive bone cement consisted of MgO-CaO-SiO 2 -P 2 O 5 -CaF 2 glass-ceramic powder (AW-G
To determine if recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) can be adsorbed onto porous ceramic hydroxyapatite (HA) and promote the integration of HA to host bone, 54 subperiosteal pockets were created on the skulls of 19 adult Pasteurella-free white rabbits. Fourteen HA implants were s
