  • Title: Prosthetic replacement using titanium-based alloy artificial total femur incorporating its total hip and total knee joints with plasma-sprayed ceramic coating.
    Author: Huang GK, Cao MJ.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1991 Mar; 104(3):252-5. PubMed ID: 2065541.
    Abstract:
    The authors developed a titanium-based alloy artificial total femur incorporating its total hip and total knee joints with plasma-sprayed ceramic coating 0.3 to 0.6 mm in thickness and a myriad of micropores of 50-200 microns in diameter. On the basis of reliable data obtained in the animal experiments and physical testing, the prosthesis was applied clinically with satisfactory results. This paper reports the results of two patients with a follow-up of 42-70 months.
