The Biologic Response to Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Wear Particles in Total Joint Replacement: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its composites are polymers resistant to fatigue strain, radiologically transparent, and have mechanical properties suitable for a range of orthopaedic applications. In bulk form, PEEK composites are generally accepted as biocompatible. In particulate form, however, the biologic response relevant to joint replacement devices remains unclear. The biolog...
متن کاملUse of customized polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants in the reconstruction of complex maxillofacial defects.
Extensive maxillofacial defects resulting from trauma or oncologic resection present reconstructive challenges. Various autografts and alloplastic materials in conjunction with standard soft-tissue techniques have been used in the reconstruction of these types of defects. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semicrystalline polyaromatic linear polymer exhibiting an excellent combination of strength...
متن کاملPolyetheretherketone (PEEK) Rods in Lumbar Spine Degenerative Disease: A Case Series.
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series. OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to retrospectively review the results of posterior lumbar fusion using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Pedicle screw and rod instrumentation has become the preferred technique for performing stabilization and fusion in the lumbar spine for degenerative disease. Rigid fixation with tit...
متن کاملCase Report: Destructive Neuroendocrine Cranial Tumour and The Role Of Pre-Fashioned Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Cranioplasty
Medical implant devices have evolved in the past decade and now many surgical specialties have turned to polyetheretherketone (PEEK) devices for its ideal properties. In Neurosurgery, PEEK has its role in many operations such as cervical cages after anterior cervical discectomy and as a prosthetic implant for cranioplasty where autologous cranioplasty is not possible. We discuss our case of a p...
