The present review study highlights the progress of PEEK and its composite materials in
biomedical applications. Various domain areas such as dentistry, knee implants, spine …

Direct structural and purposeful relation between bone and implant is known as
osteointegration. When an implant is inserted into the bone, a bone-implant interface is …

Objectives To compare mechanical properties of 3D-printed and milled poly-ether-ether-
ketone (PEEK) materials. To define post-production treatments to enhance biocompatibility …

Due to their high stiffness, metal femoral implants in total knee arthroplasty may cause stress
shielding of the peri-prosthetic bone, which can lead to loss of bone stock. Using a polymer …

The polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), all-polymer
knee prosthesis has excellent prospects for replacing the traditional metal/ceramic …

Background: This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical behaviors of polyether ether
ketone (PEEK) and traditional materials (titanium and fiber) when used to restore tooth …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely considered as a promising material for joint implants
but it still has limitations involving high friction and wear. To mimic the cartilage-subchondral …

The use of a more compliant material, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), for a
cementless femoral component is a potential solution to prevent aseptic loosening caused …

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has evolved into a successful, cost-effective treatment for end-
stage knee arthrosis. The patellofemoral articulation in TKA has largely been ignored during …

Due to the high stiffness of the biomaterials used in total knee arthroplasty, stress shielding
can lead to decreased periprosthetic bone mineral density and bone resorption. As different …
