Joint prosthesis failure is mainly related to aseptic loosening and prosthetic joint infections, both associated with high morbidity and a substantial cost burden for patients and health systems. The development of a biomaterial capable of stimulating bone growth while minimizing bacterial adhesion would reduce the incidence of prosthetic failure. Using an in vivo rabbit model, this study evaluates the osseointegration effect of the fluorine (F)- and phosphorus (P)-doped bottle-shaped nanostructured (bNT) Ti-6Al-4V alloy and effectiveness of monitoring urine aluminum concentration to determine the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in Ti-6Al-4V implants. Unlike chemically polished (CP) Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants, bNT Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants promoted osseointegration and showed effectiveness as a biomaterial marker. The bNT Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants were associated with a twofold increase in bone thickness and up to 15% greater bone density compared to the CP alloy. Additionally, bNT Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants allowed for discrimination between P. aeruginosa -infected and noninfected animals for 15 days postoperatively, as indicated by the decrease of aluminum concentration in urine, while this difference was only appreciable over the first 7 days when CP Ti-6Al-4V alloy implants were used. Therefore, bNT Ti-6Al-4V alloys could have clinical applications by detecting the infection and by avoiding aseptic loosening.
