Synthetic biodegradable polymers as orthopedic devices.
Polymer scientists, working closely with those in the device and medical fields, have made tremendous advances over the past 30 years in the use of synthetic materials in the body. In this article we will focus on properties of biodegradable polymers which make them ideally suited for orthopedic applications where a permanent implant is not desired. The materials with the greatest history of us...
متن کاملCeramic Biocomposites as Biodegradable Antibiotic Carriers in the Treatment of Bone Infections
Local release of antibiotic has advantages in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis and infected fractures. The adequacy of surgical debridement is still key to successful clearance of infection but local antibiotic carriers seem to afford greater success rates by targeting the residual organisms present after debridement and delivering much higher local antibiotic concentrations compared with...
متن کاملBiodegradable 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 کاملthe use of natural biopolymer of chitosan as biodegradable beads for local antibiotic delivery: release studies
background chitosan is a naturally occurring biopolymer which has been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications including local antibiotic delivery due to its excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility. beads are spherical, porous carriers which are prepared from various materials including chitosan. objectives the current study aimed to fabricate a new co...
متن کاملBiodegradable 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...
