The Clinical Study of 3D-printed Magnesium Alloy Prosthesis With Controllable Degradation Rate in the Repair of Periarticular Bone Defects

Perimarticular fracture bone defect is a common and complicated clinical disease. The current treatment for this type of injury is anatomical reduction of the fracture, where the bone defect is filled with artificial, autologous or allogeneic bone in granular form, and then fixed with plates and screws. However, these bone filler materials exist in a loose accumulation state and cannot form an effective overall support force for the joint. The applicant realized three dimensional (3D) printing of WE43 magnesium alloy with personalized design and porous overall structure, and developed high-temperature heat treatment technology to slow its degradation, which effectively realized the dual stability of degradation rate of magnesium alloy support body and overall structure during the bone repair period. This project will optimize the design of 3D printed WE43 magnesium alloy full-structure in-bone support, and establish a metamaterial pore structure design platform that regulates the physical properties and degradation behavior of porous implants.

Treatment and study plan

3D printed WE43 magnesium alloy

Device

This 3D printed WE43 magnesium alloy has porous structure and suitable mechanical strength, can be stable in the bone support, and gradually degrade to promote bone healing.

Primary outcomes

  1. Detection of Magnesium alloy metabolism

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery

    Blood routine, electrolyte, liver and kidney function, urine routine were used to evaluate magnesium alloy metabolism in vivo.

  2. Degradation of 3D printed magnesium alloy prosthesis

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery

    X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans were used to evaluate the degradation progression of 3D printed magnesium alloy prosthesis

  3. New bone regeneration

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery

    X-ray and CT scans were used to evaluate the process of new bone regeneration

  4. Evaluation of shoulder joint function

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery

    American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon's Form (ASES) was used to evaluate the shoulder joint function. The score scale of this form was 0 to 100, higher score represents better shoulder joint function.

  5. Evaluation of wrist joint function

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery

    Mayo Wrist Score was used to evaluate the wrist joint function.The score scale of this form was 0 to 100, higher score represents better joint function.

  6. Evaluation of knee joint function

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery

    Knee Society Score (KSS) was used to evaluate the knee joint function.The score scale of this form was 0 to 100, higher score represents better joint function.
