Mechanical failure of hydroxyapatite-coated titanium and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy implants. An animal study

Key Points

• Mechanical failure was observed in hydroxyapatite-coated titanium and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy implants.
• The study highlights significant differences in durability between various implant materials and coatings.
• Animal models were used to test the mechanical properties and long-term performance of coated implants.
• These findings underscore the importance of material selection in implant design, suggesting further research is needed.
