Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a 3D biological knee joint and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The knee joint is an important weight-bearing joint in the human body. Its complex structure consists of components such as the femoral condyle, tibial support, meniscus, and patella working together to support movement and cushion impact.
[0003] Traditional knee prostheses are mostly made of metal or polymer materials, which have the following significant problems:
[0004] Insufficient biocompatibility: Traditional metal surfaces lack a porous structure and have a weak ability to bond with bone tissue, which can easily lead to prosthesis loosening or aseptic inflammation.
[0005] Limitations of antibacterial properties: Conventional materials cannot effectively inhibit bacterial adhesion, resulting in a higher risk of postoperative infection;
[0006] Poor mechanical compatibility: The large difference in elastic modulus between the prosthesis and natural bone may trigger a "stress shielding" effect, leading to bone resorption;
[0007] Personalized adaptation is difficult: standardized prostheses cannot meet the needs of complex anatomical structures, resulting in large surgical trauma and a long recovery period.
[0008] With the development of 3D printing technology, personalized prostheses have become possible. Although existing 3D-printed knee joints attempt to improve osseointegration through porous structures, they also have some problems: the lack of composite coatings with both osteoinductive and antibacterial properties makes it difficult to balance the needs of osteogenic formation and anti-infection; the interlayer bonding strength is insufficient, the surface roughness is not precisely controlled, and the mechanical stability and cell adhesion are affected. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a 3D biological knee joint and its preparation method.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0011] A 3D bionic knee joint, comprising:
[0012] The femoral condyle component, the main body of which is made of titanium alloy, has a gradient porous bioactive glass coating on its surface. The porosity of the gradient porous bioactive glass coating gradually decreases from 85% near the joint surface to 70% at the distal end along the direction perpendicular to the surface of the component, and the pore size ranges from 100 to 500 μm.
[0013] Tibial support component, the main body of the tibial support component is titanium alloy, and its surface is provided with a porous titanium and nano silver antibacterial composite coating, the porosity of the composite coating is 60-75%, and the pore size is 200-400μm;
[0014] Meniscus component, wherein the meniscus component is a composite material of PEEK and hydrogel;
[0015] Patellar component, the main body of which is made of titanium alloy, and its surface is provided with micropores, the pore diameter of which is 50-150μm;
[0016] The femoral condyle component, tibial support component, meniscus component, and patellar component are interconnected by medical-grade fixation connectors.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the hydrogel is a polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, which accounts for 20-30% of the mass of the PEEK and hydrogel composite material.
[0018] As a further technical solution, the medical-grade fixing connector is a medical-grade metal pin.
[0019] The method for preparing a 3D biological knee joint includes the following steps:
[0020] Step 1: Data acquisition and modeling. Use CT or MRI equipment to scan the patient's knee joint to obtain three-dimensional data of the knee joint. Import the three-dimensional data into Mimics software and generate a personalized three-dimensional model of the knee joint prosthesis through reverse modeling technology.
[0021] Step 2: Material selection and mixing. Medical-grade Ti6Al4V powder with a particle size of 10-50μm and a purity of ≥99.5% was selected as the titanium alloy matrix material. Gradient porous bioactive glass coating slurry and nano silver antibacterial coating solution were prepared respectively.
[0022] Step 3: 3D printing is performed using an electron beam melting device in an environment with a temperature of 20-25℃ and a humidity of 40-60%.
[0023] For the femoral condyle component, the laser power is set to 200-400W, the scanning speed to 800-1000mm / s, the layer thickness to 20-50μm, and the fill density to 70-80% for printing;

[0025] For the meniscus component, a fused deposition modeling process is used, with the printing temperature controlled at 380-400℃, the printing speed at 30-50mm / s, and the layer thickness at 0.1-0.3mm, to print the composite material of PEEK and hydrogel.
[0026] For the patellar component, an electron beam melting device was used, with the electron beam power set to 250-300W, the scanning speed to 500-800mm / s, the layer thickness to 20-40μm, and the fill density to 75-85%.
[0027] Step 4: Post-processing and surface modification: The printed prosthetic part is placed in a vacuum environment for annealing.
[0028] Plasma spraying technology was used, with a mixture of Ar and He gas as the working gas, and the gradient porous bioactive glass coating slurry prepared in step 2 was sprayed onto the surface of the femoral condyle component under a power of 30-50kW. A nano-silver antibacterial coating solution was then sprayed onto the surface of the tibial support component using electrostatic spraying technology, followed by sintering at 300-320℃ for 30-35 minutes. Finally, all components were mechanically polished to achieve a surface roughness Ra≤0.5μm.
[0029] Step 5: Sterilization and packaging. The prepared 3D biological knee joint is sterilized using gamma rays and then sealed and packaged.
[0030] As a further technical solution, the method for preparing the gradient porous bioactive glass coating slurry is as follows:
[0031] 45S5 bioglass, ammonium bicarbonate pore-forming agent with a particle size of 50-150μm, and phosphate solution binder are mixed in a mass ratio of 62-70:24-30:15-20. The mixture is stirred for 50-60 minutes at a temperature of 20-25℃ and a stirring speed of 200-300r / min to form a uniform gradient porous bioactive glass coating slurry.
[0032] As a further technical solution, the phosphate solution binder is a sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution with a concentration of 1.0-2.0 mol / L and a pH value of 6.5-7.5.
[0033] As a further technical solution, the method for preparing the nano-silver antibacterial coating solution is as follows:
[0034] Nano-silver particles with a particle size of 10-30 nm are dispersed in an ethanol solution with a volume concentration of 50-70% and dispersed at a temperature of 20-25℃ using magnetic stirring at a stirring speed of 450-500 r / min for 30-40 min to prepare a nano-silver antibacterial coating solution.
[0035] As a further technical solution, the annealing is performed at 800°C for 2 hours.
[0036] As a further technical solution, in the plasma spraying process, the volume ratio of the Ar and He mixed gas is 2-3:1.
[0037] As a further technical solution, during electrostatic spraying, the spraying voltage is 15-30kV and the spraying distance is 10-20cm.
[0038] As a further technical solution, the sealed packaging uses a double-layer medical-grade plastic film.
[0039] Furthermore, nitrogen gas is filled inside the packaging to prevent oxidation.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0041] This invention acquires individualized knee joint data from patients through CT / MRI scans, and uses Mimics software for reverse modeling to generate a precisely fitted 3D model of the prosthesis, thereby improving the success rate. Based on the patient's specific anatomical characteristics, it avoids the fitting errors of traditional standardized prostheses, reduces surgical trauma, and improves the initial stability of the prosthesis-bone interface.
[0042] This invention introduces a gradient porous bioactive glass coating. The porosity of the coating on the femoral condyle surface decreases from 85% at the articular surface to 70% at the distal end, with a pore size of 100-500 μm, promoting the layered growth of chondrocytes and osteocytes. The gradient porosity mimics the structural characteristics of natural subchondral bone, with large pores facilitating chondrocyte adhesion and small pores enhancing bone tissue ingrowth. The 45S5 bioglass releases calcium and phosphorus ions to induce hydroxyapatite deposition, improving bone integration efficiency.
[0043] This invention introduces a porous titanium and nano-silver antibacterial composite coating; the porous titanium structure on the tibial support surface is combined with nano-silver to take into account both bone ingrowth and antibacterial properties; the porous titanium provides mechanical support and bone conduction pathway, while the nano-silver destroys bacterial cell membranes by releasing silver ions, inhibiting the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, and reducing the risk of postoperative infection.
[0044] In multi-process 3D printing, annealing in post-processing and surface modification eliminates printing stress, improves the fatigue strength of the titanium alloy matrix, and reduces the risk of fracture during long-term use. Ion spraying and electrostatic spraying ensure uniform adhesion of the gradient porous coating and the nano-silver coating, significantly improving bonding strength. A high-temperature plasma flow formed by an Ar / He mixed gas melts the bio-glass slurry and embeds it into the micropores of the titanium alloy surface; electrostatic spraying achieves directional deposition of nano-silver particles, ensuring uniform distribution of antibacterial components.
[0045] This invention addresses the shortcomings of traditional knee joint prostheses by combining individualized modeling, gradient functional coating, multi-process printing, and post-processing, thereby improving performance in areas such as significantly enhanced biocompatibility, superior antibacterial properties, optimized mechanical matching, and precise personalized fit.
