Biodegradable Orthopedic Implants
current treatments using nondegradable fi xation materials have proven effi cacious, tissueengineering approaches with biodegradable implants are being considered as promising future alternatives [8, 49]. One possible advantage of these systems is that biodegradable implants can be engineered to provide temporary support for bone fractures, and because they can degrade at a rate matching new ti...
متن کاملStudies on Explanted Orthopedic Implants
One of the basic functions of the human body is mobility. When the mobile function can no longer be performed, a number of problems arise. Orthopaedic implants are medical devices made of one or more biocompatible materials that are placed inside the human body in order to replace the damaged parts and take over their biological functions. The purpose of this paper is to present a series of ana...
متن کاملAllergy to orthopedic metal implants - a prospective study.
OBJECTIVES Evaluation of the allergenic properties of the metal knee or hip joint implants 24 months post surgery and assessment of the relation between allergy to metals and metal implants failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in two stages. Stage I (pre-implantation) - 60 patients scheduled for arthroplasty surgery. Personal interview, dermatological examination and patch t...
متن کاملBioactive Glass Coatings for Orthopedic Metallic Implants
The objective of this work is to develop bioactive glass coatings for metallic orthopedic implants. A new family of glasses in the SiO2–Na2O–K2O–CaO–MgO–P2O5 system has been synthesized and characterized. The glass properties (thermal expansion, softening and transformation temperatures, density and hardness) are in line with the predictions of established empirical models. The optimized firing...
متن کاملMetal Hypersensitivity Reactions to Orthopedic Implants
Total hip and knee replacement surgery using metal alloy devices is common. Type IV allergic reactions to these implants occur, though infrequently. While uncommon, peri-implant metal allergic reactions may cause significant morbidity for the affected individual-including aseptic loosening, pseudotumor formation and frank device failure. It is challenging to predict who will have these reaction...
