Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become an almost standard procedure for the treatment of various hip lesions. However, one of the limitations has been the mechanical loosening of the prosthesis, a condition termed peri-prosthetic osteolysis. Consequently, at revision surgery, various grades of bone defect are often noted. Alternative approaches aimed at overcoming this problem have included a special design of the revision prosthesis and allo- or autogeneic bone grafting in combination with or without biomaterials. In a further attempt to address the loosening of the prosthesis, we have combined human bone morphogenetic protein-2, produced by DNA recombination (rhBMP-2) with a new synthetic biodegradable polymer (poly-D,L-lactic-acid-para-dioxanone-polyethyleneglycol block co-polymer; PLA-DX-PEG). We present data on the efficacy of the rhBMP-2 laden prosthesis to reconstruct a bone defect in a canine model. In this model, medial half of the proximal femur was surgically resected to create a bone defect that was repaired with the rhBMP-2/PLA-DX-PEG composite. Twelve weeks after implantation, the original bone defects in the rhBMP-2 treatment groups had been repaired. Thus, this type of 'hybrid' prosthesis may provide a new modality to repair bone defects or restore lost bone mass encountered in revision arthroplasty.
