Metallic implants have the disadvantage of being insufficiently biologically active despite
their good mechanical properties and general affordability. Therefore, their bone growth at …

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 …

To facilitate patient healing in injuries and bone fractures, metallic implants have been in
use for a long time. As metallic biomaterials have offered desirable mechanical strength …

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 …

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 …

The study of metallic drug/device combinations for controlled drug release in orthopaedic
applications has gained significant momentum in the past decade, particularly for the …

Metallic biomaterials like stainless steel, Co-based alloy, Ti and its alloys are widely used as
artificial hip joints, bone plates and dental implants due to their excellent mechanical …

Titanium implants are considered the gold standard of treatment for dental and orthopedic
applications. Biocompatibility, low elasticity, and corrosion resistance are some of the key …

To improve the biocompatibility of medical implants, a chemical composition of bone‐like
material (eg, hydroxyapatite) can be deposited on the surface of various substrates. When …

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