The overall success and long-term life of the medical implants are decisively based on the
convenient osseointegration at the hosting tissue-implant interface. Therefore, various …

Metallic implants sometimes fail in orthopedic surgeries due to insufficient bio-functionality,
implant-associated infections, poor osteointegration due to high inertness (Ti, Co–Cr …

Bioactive glasses are promising biomaterials for bone and tissue repair and reconstruction,
as they were shown to bond to both hard and soft tissues stimulating cells towards a path of …

The lacklustre performance of metallic biomaterials commonly used in orthopaedic implants
is due to inadequate bio-functionality, high degradation rate, and implant-associated …

The use of endosseous implants is firmly established in skeletal reconstructive surgery, with
rapid and permanent fixation of prostheses being a highly desirable feature. Implant …

Achieving the stable osteointegration of prosthetic implants is one of the great challenges of
modern orthopedic surgery. The fixation of ceramic acetabular cups of hip joint prostheses is …

Coating Ti-based implants with bioactive materials, able to form hydroxyapatite layers in
vivo, facilitates joining between the prostheses and bone and increases the long-term …

Silica-based bioactive glasses (SBG) hold great promise as bio-functional coatings of
metallic endo-osseous implants, due to their osteoproductive potential, and, in the case of …

Metallic implant materials possess adequate mechanical properties such as strength, elastic
modulus, and ductility for long term support and stability in vivo. Traditional metallic …

To fix the bone in orthopedics, it is almost always necessary to use implants. Metals provide
the needed physical and mechanical properties for load-bearing applications. Although …
