A silicate–apatite layer was formed on commercially available anodically oxidized titanium rods using Na 2 SiO 3 ‐containing supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions. With the increase in the concentration of Na 2 SiO 3 in the supersaturated calcium phosphate solutions, the amounts of silicon that precipitated on the titanium rods increased from 0 to 0.07 ± 0.02 μg/cm 2 ; meanwhile, the amounts of calcium and phosphorus that precipitated on the titanium rods decreased from 11.6 ± 1.6 and 5.7 ± 2.0 μg/cm 2 to 2.6 ± 0.5 and 3.0 ± 1.0 μg/cm 2 , respectively. The present silicate–apatite composite layers, which demonstrated increased fibroblastic proliferation and osteoblastic proliferation and differentiation in vitro , are promising as coating layers on external fixation pins for decreasing the pin tract infection rate in vivo . © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
