The choice of this ceramic is due to its composition being similar to organic apatite bone crystals. This ceramic is biocompatible, bioactive, and osteoconductive. These qualities facilitate the primary stability and osseointegration of implants Our surgical experience includes the implantation of more than 4,000 cementless hydroxyapatite coated hip prostheses since 1990 The models implanted are coated with HA in the acetabulum and in the metaphyseal area of the stem.The results corresponding to survival and stability of implants were very satisfactory in the long-term. From our experience, HA-coated hip implants are a reliable alternative which can achieve long termsurvival, provided that certain requirements aremet: good design selection, sound choice of bearing surfaces based on patient life expectancy,meticulous surgical technique, and indications based on adequate bone quality. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 2.134 2015 MEDICINE, RESEARCH & EXPERIMENTAL 72 / 124 = 0.581 2015 Q3 T2 BIOTECHNOLOGY & APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY 81 / 161 = 0.503 2015 Q3 T2 0.854 2015 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) 2015 Q2 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2015 Q2 Immunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous) 2015 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mateo, J Gil-Albarova, J Lobo-Escolar, A Ibarz, E Gabarre, S Mas, Y Gracia, L 1004 830 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
