Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of implant surface design and manufacturing, in particular to an orthopedic implant with a multistage micro-nano structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of modern medical systems, orthopedic implants play an important role in surgical operations, and as a medical instrument working in the human body for a long time, whether the structure of the orthopedic implant is safe, stable and effective or not directly affects the life health and safety of patients is very important. However, when implanted into the body in a complex physiological environment of the human body, the implant is influenced by physical, chemical, bioelectricity and other factors for a long time, has poor biocompatibility and bone ingrowth performance, and has the problems of difficult stable embedding with body cell tissues, easy initiation of inflammation, infection and the like of a patient. The main solution at the present stage is to perform surface modification treatment on the orthopedic implant, and then coat a layer of coating containing anti-inflammatory drugs on the surface of the orthopedic implant. The current methods for major surface modification include mechanical methods represented by micro-milling and shot peening, chemical methods represented by thermokalite, acid etching, anodic oxidation and micro-arc oxidation, and physical methods represented by physical deposition and plasma spraying.
The surface modification of the existing orthopedic implant is mainly to process a microstructure with specific roughness, but most of the design and processing methods can only process a simple primary microstructure, such as an orthogonal micro-groove array or a micro-pit array, the design of the microstructure is often single in functionality, the influence on the key performances of the implant, such as biocompatibility, antibacterial property and the like, is weak, the embedding between a coating and a substrate is also influenced to a certain extent, and the practicability is weak. In addition, although the drug-containing coating can prevent inflammation and infection to some extent, it also has the disadvantages of short effective drug action time and easy drug resistance.
