Hip osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder, and is represented by a degenerative
process, resulting in pain and functional impairment. If conservative treatment for hip …

Osteochondral (OC) repair is an extremely challenging topic due to the complex biphasic
structure and poor intrinsic regenerative capability of natural osteochondral tissue. In …

In this study, selective laser melting (SLM) was used to fabricate samples of titanium–
tantalum (TiTa) alloy comprising 50 wt% of each element. Based on observation from …

Developing biomaterials with appropriate physiochemical and mechanical properties as per
the requirements set by biomedical applications remains a challenge. This challenge has …

Tissue engineering approaches have been adopted to address challenges in osteochondral

Laser additive manufacturing (LAM) realizes a multitude of customized medical applications,
such as prosthetics or implants. Today, a wide range of biocompatible materials is available …

Over the last decade, new titanium alloys are developed in different areas of implantology.
The aim of this study was to characterize a new Ti-Al-Nb-Ta-Mo based alloy, with high …

Unlike conventional manufacturing techniques, additive manufacturing (AM) can form
objects of complex shape and geometry in an almost unrestricted manner. AM's advantages …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is one of the most important additivee manufacturing
(AM) techniques used for developing the structures and the properties of different …

This paper presents studies on the design of prostheses manufactured by selective laser
melting (SLM) of porous Ti alloys. The results are materialized by a new design and …
