Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure for end-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Traditional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement used in TKA has limitations, including lack of osteointegration and higher modulus than bone. We developed a novel bone cement, mineralized collagen (MC)-PMMA, to address these issues. In a prospective, randomized controlled trial, we compared TKA outcomes using MC-PMMA versus traditional PMMA (T-PMMA) in 34 patients with bilateral late-stage osteoarthritis. Evaluated parameters included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), knee range of motion, pain scores, complications, and radiographic evaluations over a 45.8-month follow-up. The MC-PMMA group showed significantly improved Knee Society function scores at one-year follow-up. No significant differences were found between groups in other PROMs, knee range of motion, or pain scores. Radiographic evaluations revealed no differences in postoperative Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) angle, anatomical axis angle, or radiolucent lines. Complication rates were similar, with no infections, aseptic loosening, peri-prosthetic fractures, or revisions. MC-PMMA is a promising biomaterial for TKA, offering comparable safety and mid-term clinical outcomes to T-PMMA. Its use may lead to earlier functional recovery, highlighting the potential of nanomaterials in orthopedic applications. Trial registration number: ChiCTR1800014811 (02/07/2018).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine publishes refereed papers providing significant progress in the application of biomaterials and tissue engineering constructs as medical or dental implants, prostheses and devices. Coverage spans a wide range of topics from basic science to clinical applications, around the theme of materials in medicine and dentistry. The central element is the development of synthetic and natural materials used in orthopaedic, maxillofacial, cardiovascular, neurological, ophthalmic and dental applications. Special biomedical topics include biomaterial synthesis and characterisation, biocompatibility studies, nanomedicine, tissue engineering constructs and cell substrates, regenerative medicine, computer modelling and other advanced experimental methodologies.
