Abstract
The bone-implant interface formed in a canine distal femur was examine d by means of a Raman microprobe using an implant model designed to te st calcium phosphate surface coatings. By using the 960 cm(-1) band of calcium phosphate to characterize the interface and adjacent mineral, we obtained spatial and compositional information about the attachmen t of bone to the synthetic calcium phosphate coating on a titanium sup port. The interface between bone and the synthetic calcium phosphate i s approximately 30-40 mu m in width. (C) 1995 John Wiley and Sons, Inc .
