Reducing the risk of impaired bone apposition to titanium screws with the use of fibroblast growth factor-2−apatite composite layer coating

BACKGROUND: Loosening of screws is a common problem in orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery. Modifying the implant surface to improve the mechanical strength of screws has been tried and reported. We developed screws coated with fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)−apatite composite layers. We then sh...
