Radiation Processing of Composites for Orthopaedic Implants
نویسنده
چکیده
Prime task for orthopedists and traumatologists is the development of new artificial materials for replacement of osseous tissue and cartilage defects, for functional rehabilitation of the injured locomotorium tissue after traumatic fractures and surgical interventions. Electron beam (EB) processing of polymer composites with bioactive ceramics was used for manufacture of new artificial materials for orthopedic implants. Experimental approaches and problems of EB processing for composites formation are discussed in the paper.

Synthesis, characterization of calcium phosphates/polyurethane composites for weight-bearing implants.
Calcium phosphate (CaP)/polymer composites have been studied as an alternative graft material for the treatment of bone defects. In this study, lysine-triisocyanate-based polyurethane (PUR) composites were synthesized from both hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) to reduce the brittleness of CaP and increase the bioactivity of the polymer. The mechanical properties and in vitro...
متن کاملBiomimetic Bonelike Composites and Novel Bioactive Glass Coatings
Metallic orthopaedic implants have been successfully used for decades but they have serious shortcomings related to their osseointegration and the fact that their mechanical properties do not match those of bone. This paper reviews recent advances in the fabrication of novel coatings to improve implant osseointegration and in the development of a new generation of hybrid organic-inorganic impla...
متن کاملCrack growth resistance of alumina, zirconia and zirconia toughened alumina ceramics for joint prostheses.
Mono-phase bio-ceramics (alumina and zirconia) are widely used as femoral heads in total hip replacements (THR) as an alternative to metal devices. Unfortunately, the orthopaedic community reports significant in-vivo failures. Material scientists are already familiar with composites like alumina zirconia. Since both are biocompatible, this could prove to be a new approach to implants. This pape...

Different methods have been evaluated for manufacturing the porous Ti6Al4V alloys according to decreasing stress shielding phenomenon and increasing mechanical compatibility between the metallic components and the host tissue. For this purpose, in this work Ti6Al4V alloy chips were pressed under 400 MPa pressure and then samples were categorized and heated into two groups at 1000 and 1150℃ unde...
متن کاملRevision of Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty to Hemiarthroplasty: Does it work?
Background: The projected increase in revision shoulder arthroplasty has increased interest in the outcomes of theseprocedures. Glenoid component removal and conversion to a hemiarthroplasty (HA) is an option for aseptic glenoidloosening after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA).Methods: We identified patients who had undergone revision shoulder arthroplasty over a 15-...
