Abstract
We report the measured progression of human cancellous bone ingrowth i nto load-bearing porous-coated titanium implants over 5 time periods ( 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months), There was a statistically significant prog ression of bone ingrowth into the implants over a 9-month period, but the 9- and 12-month data were not different, Investigators are advised to analyze time ''0'' implants in order to distinguish mechanical imp action of bone from the biological process of bone ingrowth.
