Six mature beagle dogs underwent bilateral hip replacement with prosthetic femur components. Three groups were established in terms of different coating of prothesis （four joints in each group）： atmosphere （A） plasma-sprayed pure titanium （Ti） prosthetic joint with hydroxyapatite （HA） coating （HA＋Ti＋A group）; vacuum （V） plasma-sprayed pure Ti prosthetic joint with HA coating （HA＋Ti＋V group）; vacuum plasma-sprayed pure Ti prosthetic joint with Ti-HA stepped coating （Ti＋HAG＋Ti＋V group）. The hip joints were functionally evaluated, and subjected to X-ray examination, biomechanics inspection, and histological examination. As a result, X-ray imaging revealed all prosthetic joints were in a good location and no dislocation of joint was found. Shear strength of interface was significantly higher in Ti＋HAG＋Ti＋V group than in HA＋Ti＋V group （P〈0.05） and HA＋Ti＋A group （P〈0.05） at 28th week. Histological examination showed the amount of newborn bone in Ti＋HAG＋Ti＋V group was more than in HA＋Ti＋V group and HA＋Ti＋A group after 28 weeks. It was suggested that vacuum plasma-sprayed pure Ti prosthetic joint with TI-HA stepped coating could improve the bonding capacity of bone-prosthesis, enhance the stability of prosthesis, and increase the fixion of prosthetic femoral components because of better bone growth. This new type of biological material in prosthetic femoral components holds promises for application in clinical practice.展开更多
