  • Title: Effects of fibrin sealant on the fixation of porous titanium and pyrolytic carbon implants.
    Author: Hetherington VJ, Park JB, Park SH, Carnett JA, Patterson BA, Bratkiewicz L, Kessler DA.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1989; 28(2):145-50. PubMed ID: 2472435.
    Abstract:
    The authors investigated the potential role the fibrin sealant system may portray in the fixation of osseous implants. The application of a layer of fibrin did not interfere with the fixation of osseous implants of either pyrolytic carbon or Biolite-coated porous titanium. A greater percentage of tissue ingrowth was observed in the porous titanium implants in the presence of the fibrin sealant system; however, no significant difference in the ultimate interfacial shear stress was observed.
