Biodegradable Composite Materials as Bone Regenerative Implants
Bioresorbable polymers do not provide sufficient load-bearing support within the body as they do not possess the mechanical properties required to fixate bone [1]. Structural implants rely on durable materials such as metal alloys and ceramics which exceed the modulus of the parent bone tissue approximately tenfold. Since bone structure constantly adjusts to local conditions, this tends to weak...
متن کاملPorous Gelcast Ceramics for Bone Repair Implants
Lightweight, porous ceramic structures are being developed for a variety of biologically-related applications. In bioengineering, there is interest in replacing metal-based implants with more functional implants consisting of porous bioceramics that are bioresorbable. In the design of bioinspired ceramic structures, there is a desire to understand the coupling between geometric complexity and p...
متن کاملPorous NiTi for bone implants: a review.
NiTi foams are unique among biocompatible porous metals because of their high recovery strain (due to the shape-memory or superelastic effects) and their low stiffness facilitating integration with bone structures. To optimize NiTi foams for bone implant applications, two key areas are under active study: synthesis of foams with optimal architectures, microstructure and mechanical properties; a...
متن کاملBone density study of the proximal femur after hip arthroplasty with porous-coated implants
Progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. A linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. The opposite femur was used as the control measurement. Bone mineral density was unchanged at two mo...
متن کاملZoledronic acid causes enhancement of bone growth into porous implants.
The effect of zoledronic acid on bone ingrowth was examined in an animal model in which porous tantalum implants were placed bilaterally within the ulnae of seven dogs. Zoledronic acid in saline was administered via a single post-operative intravenous injection at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg. The ulnae were harvested six weeks after surgery. Undecalcified transverse histological sections of the implant...
