Infection of orthopedic implants with emphasis on bacterial adhesion process and techniques used in studying bacterial-material interactions (2012, background): “In addition, it is predicted that the percentage of the population over 50 years affected by bone diseases will double by 2020.(1) An artificial implant must possess both structural and surface compatibility with the host tissue.”
Fundamentals and advances in magnesium alloy corrosion (2017, background): “For temporary orthopaedic devices, in addition to biodegradation, the elastic modulus of Mg alloys is another beneficial property, as it matches the modulus of bone better than most other metallic alloys, which decreases stress-shielding effects [384].”
Bioceramics of calcium orthophosphates. (2010, background): “This approach should enhance the quality of life of millions of people, as they grow older [381,382].”
Collagen for bone tissue regeneration. (2012, background): “nds with other polymers [55–66]”
