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

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 …

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 …

Reflecting the progress in recent years, this book provides in-depth information on the
preparation, chemistry, and engineering of bioceramic coatings for medical implants. It is …

During the past century, synthetic materials and devices have been developed to the point at
which they can be used successfully to replace and/or restore function to diseased or …

Most high load-bearing implants are metallic alloys which contain toxic chemical
components that might be released due to the corrosive environment of body fluids and load …

The development of bioceramic materials is at the forefront of health-related issues in many
countries. Arguably, research into ceramic biomaterials has reached a level of involvement …

Titanium, stainless steel, and CoCrMo alloys are the most widely used biomaterials for
orthopedic applications. The most common causes of orthopedic implant failure after …

Advanced bioceramics have played integral roles in treatment modalities for damaged or
diseased human joints and osseous defects. This paper reviews the uses and properties of …

Metallic materials such as stainless steel (SS), titanium (Ti), magnesium (Mg) alloys, and
cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys are widely used as biomaterials for implant applications …
