Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 composite has good material-cell interface and three-dimensional porous network structure, and it can also be gradually degraded over time after implantation in the human body.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 in early repair of femoral head necrosis.

METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 62 cases of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head, including 32 males and 30 females, aged 34-51 years. These patients were divided into control group (31 cases) and observation group (31 cases) according to treatment methods. Core decompression with nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 implantation and core decompression with bone graft were respectively performed in the observation and control groups. Incidence of pain in the two groups was compared at 1 day after treatmen; and during the 12-month follow-up, the Harris score of the hip function in the two groups was compared.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in the visual analog scale scores between two groups at 1 day after treatment. The Harris scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 and 12 months after treatment (P < 0.05). There was no adverse reaction in the two groups. These findings indicate that nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 material for repair of early femoral head necrosis has good biocompatibility, and can obtain good effects on limb function recovery.
