Carbon and Plastic Materials for Orthopaedic Implants
Plastics materials have influenced orthopaedic surgical trends over recent years. Orthopaedic pioneers have stimulated the attention of both... -
Experiences with Implantable Devices — Problems Faced by Develo** Countries
The orthopaedic surgeon practising in develo** countries faces multi-various problems. A large number of them are locally trained, but by experts... -
Fracture, Fatigue and Aging Behavior of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics
During the last ten years fibre reinforced materials have been increasingly investigated with respect to possible biomédical applications and in... -
The Role of Carbon Fibers in Orthopedic Implants: A Review
Man has recognized carbon as an implant material well tolerated by the body for many years. Indeed, carbon in an impure form (Indian ink) was first... -
Cellular Interactions in Extracorporeal Circuitry
A major problem in the development of all extracorporeal circuitry where blood is in contact with synthetic materials is the number and diversity of... -
Surface Emission and Biological Probes for Inorganic Interfaces
Inorganic materials provide solid substrata with which cells may interact in numerous natural, pathological and iatrogenic conditions. Human natural... -
Bone Implant Surfaces with Coatings Containing Surface-Reactive Particles
Bone bonding can develop at the surface of appropriate reactive materials (e.g. Bioglass (R) (1), glass ceramic (1–6), calcined bone (7)) and can... -
Surface Phenomena in In Vivo Environments
As an illustration of the importance of surface preparation in the determination of implant behavior in living systems, we report recent observations... -
Metallurgy of Orthopaedic Implants
Rapid progress in surgical procedures has placed increasing demands on available materials needed for instruments and implants. In the early part of... -
The Biological Applications of Titanium and Titanium Alloys
Titanium was introduced into engineering practice as a remarkable, new, high strength, corrosion resistant material in the 1940’s. At that time, two... -
The Utilisation of Implants in Clinical Orthopaedics
An astonishingly wide variety of inplants is used in orthopaedic surgery, varying from nails, screws, plates and screws, wires, pins to the most... -
Late Precambrian and Early Cambrian Metazoa: Preservational or Real Extinctions?
The interpretation of Ediacara-type body fossils in terms of modern soft-bodied metazoans must be questioned. Their morphology rather suggests...
