Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved irregular surface which may be utilized in conjunction with a bone implant to facilitate the growth of bone tissue within the surface.
- the invention also relates to a method of production of this surface.
- the irregular surface is created on a substrate material to particularly adapt that surface for joining to a second material. More specifically, the invention relates to the sequential etching of a bone implant surface to produce an irregular random pattern of protrusions and depressions through the use of chemical and electrochemical milling techniques and the subsequent blasting of the surface to produce micro features on the surface.
- the first of these methods involves the use of a cement or adhesive material which is applied to the surfaces of the implant and the bone.
- the cement is adapted to harden in a rapid fashion and rigidly affix the two portions in an immobile manner.
- the use of cement permits the application of loads to the joinder of the bone and the implant within a relatively short time following implantation. This is generally desirable in terms of the well-being of the patient, in that a quick physical recovery improves the overall recovery of the patient.
- a second method of affixation of the implant to the bone has also been utilized as an alternative to the cement technique.
- the implant is provided with an irregular surface into which the bone may grow, creating a natural joinder between the bone and the implant.
- One of the shortcomings of this implantation technique is the longer recovery time necessary to permit ingrowth of the bone into the surface of the implant.
- An additional problem which has occurred with relation to the ingrowth embodiment relates to the preparation of the surface of the implant.
- An implant having a smooth surface is inappropriate for use in this type of operation as it provides no gripping surface for the bone.
- An irregular surface therefore, is preferred and in fact necessary for this application.
- Van Kampen U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,409, issued un. 16, 1987, discloses an implant having a surface comprising a multiplicity of spaced posts projecting from the implant surface for mating with bone material.
- the Van Kampen reference specifically teaches away from an edgeless surface as taught by the Frye reference. Nan Kampen instructs that while a rounded surface minimizes the fo ⁇ nation of stresses, it nnnimizes the total surface area that may be joined to the tissue, thus reducing the strength of the implant.
- Van Kampen discloses the use of regular posts which are roughly rectangular in cross-section. The posts are spaced at a regular interval and are formed by laser drilling.
- an attachment surface in which a random irregular pattern is formed through a repetitive masking and chemical milling process.
- Surface material is removed from the implant witliout stress on the adjoining material, and the process provides fully dimensioned fillet radii at the base of the surface irregularities which is then adapted to receive the ingrowth of bone material when joined to bone during implantation.
- An irregular series of projections and depressions is formed to accommodate such ingrowth, providing a large surface area without any surface manipulations or additions.
- the surface is prepared through an etching process which utilizes the random application of a maskant and subsequent etching of the metallic substrate in areas unprotected by the maskant.
- This etching process is repeated a number of times as necessitated by the amount and nature of the irregularities required for any particular application.
- the number of repetitions of the etching process is also utilized to control the surface features.
- Cobalt-chromium alloys present a particular challenge for material removal utilizing this technique, primarily because of their high chemical inertness which makes them resistant to chemical etching.
- Wagner, et al., U.S. Patent Nos. 5,922,029 and 6,193,762 disclose the preparation of a substrate through an electrochemical etching process which utilizes the random application of a maskant and subsequent electrochemical etching of the metallic substrate in areas unprotected by the maskant. This electrochemical etching process is repeated a number of times as necessitated by the amount and nature of the irregularities required for any particular application.
- An attachment surface is provided in which a random irregular pattern is formed through a repetitive masking and chemical milling process.
- the malleable composite material is molded into the irregularities of the substrate.
- a malleable, composite surface material is deposited upon a metal superstructure, which provides strength and support.
- the composite outer layer is designed to provide external characteristics, such as reduced air resistance or increased absorbability of electromagnetic radiation.
- the substrate is a bone implant adapted to use in the human body
- surface material is removed from the implant without stress on the adjoining material, and the process provides fully dimensioned fillet radii at the base of the surface irregularities which is then adapted to receive the ingrowth of bone material when joined to bone during implantation.
- An irregular series of projections and depressions is formed to accommodate such ingrowth, providing a large surface area without any surface manipulations or additions.
- control of the strength of the etchant material, the temperature at which the etching process takes place and the time allotted for such an etching technique permit fine control over the resulting surface produced by the process.
- the number of repetitions of the etching process is also utilized to control the surface features.
- the particular maskant and etchant utilized for a given attachment surface is dictated by the base metal utilized for the implant while a titanium implant is contemplated as the best mode of practice in the invention, it is to be specifically understood that any base metal may be utilized as the implanted material. A change in the base metal would necessitate a change in the maskant and etchant. No limitation is to be inferred from the selection of titanium in the detailed description following nor in the selection of the particular maskant and etchant chemistries.
- the surface of cobalt-chromium alloys are preferably prepared through an electrochemical etching process which utilizes the random application of a maskant and subsequent electrochemical etching of the metallic substrate in areas unprotected by the maskant.
- Control of the composition, temperature, and flow rate of the electrolyte, the work gap between the cathodic tool and the attachment surface of the anodic workpiece, the voltage difference between the cathodic tool and the anodic workpiece, the specific amperage, the temperature at which the electrochemical etching process takes place, and the time allotted for electrochemical etching permit fine control over the resulting surface produced by the process.
- the number of repetitions of the electrochemical etching process is also utilized to control the surface features.
- the particular maskant and the parameters of the electrochemical etching process utilized for a given attachment surface is dictated by the base metal utilized for the implant. While a cobalt- chrornium allow implant is contemplated as the best mode of practice in the invention, it is to be specifically understood that any base metal may be utilized as the implanted material. A change in the base metal may necessitate a change in the maskant, the electrolyte, and the parameters of the electrochemical etching process. No limitation is to be inferred from the selection of a cobalt- chromium allow in the detailed description which follows no in the selection of the particular maskant and of the particular parameters of the electrochemical etching process.
- a final procedure provides the substrate with an enhanced surface texture having a plurality of micro-features that promote bone ingrowth or osseointegration.
- the resulting surface is subjected to a blasting step in which a blast media is impinged upon the surface.
- One or more of the following five variables will, depending on the type of equipment being used, affect the surface texture produced and that must be taken into consideration during this blasting step: (1) the particular blast media chosen and the grit size thereof; (2) the duration of the blast; (3) the pressure of the blast stream; (4) the distance between the source of the blast media, such as a nozzle, and the surface being treated; and (5) the angle at which the source of the blast media, and thus the stream of the blast media, is directed toward the surface being treated.
- the blast media is selected according to the particular parameters of each application, depending upon the size and characteristic micro-features desired.
- the blast media is also selected in conjunction with a matched solvent that can dissolve or otherwise remove, without damage to the substrate material, any blast media material which is lodged into the substrate after blasting.
- the surface may be subjected to an optional cold flash step to remove stains in which the surface is immersed in a solvent or other bath for the purpose of cleaning the surface and removing any stains.
- Any special areas of the surface such as threaded holes or trunnions, may be plugged or covered to prevent damage thereto.
- the embedded particulate debris from the blast media is removed during a debris removal step.
- the debris removal step preferably follows the cold flash step, in which the surface is immersed in a solvent bath that leaches the embedded blast media particulate debris from the surface. Performing the blasting and debris removal or passivation steps according to the present invention on the surface will result in a surface that includes a plurality of micro-features comprising recesses or indents that promote greater osseointegration.
