Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Artificial biomaterials are gradually mature and diversified in bone injury rehabilitation process, providing the conditions and research direction for treatment of severe hip injuries in the human body.
OBJECTIVE: To classify and review the measures about artificial biomaterial intervention for hip injuries and post-transplantation inflammatory factors.
METHODS: A computer-based search of PubMed, VIP and Wanfang databases (1990-01/2011-10) were performed for articles about hip injuries and biomaterial repair using the keywords of “hip, transplantation, biological materials, treatment” in English and Chinese.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At present, prosthetic replacement is the main technique for treatment of severe hip injuries and it is going to maturation that is developed from femoral head replacement to total hip replacement, hemi-hip replacement, surface hip replacement and even stemless hip replacement. However, implant material characteristics and postoperative complications are the important factors to constraint the surgical results. Therefore, studies addressing how to improve biocompatibility, increase service life, lessen surgical trauma and decrease postoperative complications in hip replacement are the hotspots of the materials and replacement techniques in the future.
