Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a thermoplastic material widely used in engineering
applications due to its good biomechanical properties and high temperature stability …

Patients suffering bone fractures in different parts of the body require implants that will
enable similar function to that of the natural bone that they are replacing. Joint diseases …

Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most common and successful orthopedic surgeries.
Sometimes, periprosthetic osteolysis occurs associated with the stress-shielding effect: it …

Monitoring the position of orthopedic implants in vivo is paramount for enhancing
postoperative rehabilitation. Traditional radiographic methods, although effective, pose …

In orthopedics, bone fixation imposes the use of implants in almost all cases. Over time, the
materials used for the implant have evolved from inert materials to those that mimic the …

Stress shielding secondary to bone resorption is one of the main causes of aseptic
loosening, which limits the lifespan of the hip prostheses and increases the rates of revision …

Tantalum (Ta) has excellent prospects in the bone-implant field due to its satisfactory
biocompatibility. Two novel Ta lattice structures were designed and printed by selective …

The high cost of biofabricated titanium mesh plates can make them out of reach for hospitals
in low-income countries. To increase the availability of cranioplasty, the authors of this work …

Stress-shielding is caused by a significant mismatch in stiffness between bone tissue and Ti
alloy dental implants. Therefore, in this study, a Ti-PEEK composite implant was examined …

Abstract Background-Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) is among the newer special
thermoplastic engineering plastics and has shown reasonable biological, mechanical, and …
