Antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity of porous Sr/Ag-containing TiO2 coatings.
TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that this kind of coating displays long-lasting antibacterial ability even up to 28 d due to the incorporation of Ag, and identified, for the first time, that proper addition of Ag would further facilitate osteogenic effects.

Tribocorrosion behavior of β-type Ti-15Zr-based alloys
Diego Rafael Nespeque Correa,Pedro Akira Bazaglia Kuroda,Carlos Roberto Grandini,Luís Augusto Rocha,F.G.M. Oliveira,A.C. Alves,Fatih Toptan +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the tribocorrosion behavior of novel titanium alloys, Ti-15Zr-7.5Mo andTi-15zr-15Mo, for biomedical applications was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wear studies on plasma sprayed Al2O3–40 wt% 8YSZ composite ceramic coating on Ti–6Al–4V alloy used for biomedical applications
TL;DR: The composite coating (A4Z) had superior wear resistance and wear track examination suggests two reasons for this improvement: first, the A4Z coating had improved cohesive strength between splats, and second, there was a phase transition toughening mechanism associated with tetragonal zirconia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A metastable β-type Ti–Nb binary alloy with low modulus and high strength
TL;DR: In this article, a simple binary Ti-38Nb (wt.%) alloy with low modulus and high strength was fabricated with the assistance of thermo-mechanical treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bisphosphonate‐Functionalized Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration
TL;DR: This article provides leading‐edge design strategies of the BP‐functionalized bone engineering scaffolds for improved bone repairability and explores the molecular mechanisms of BPs on bone metabolism and analyzes the appropriate concentrations of BPS that promote bone regeneration.

Projections of primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2030.
TL;DR: These large projected increases in demand for total hip and knee arthroplasties provide a quantitative basis for future policy decisions related to the numbers of orthopaedic surgeons needed to perform these procedures and the deployment of appropriate resources to serve this need.

Titanium alloys in total joint replacement—a materials science perspective
Marc Long,H.J Rack +1 more
TL;DR: This review examines current information on the physical and mechanical characteristics of titanium alloys used in artifical joint replacement prostheses, with a special focus on those issues associated with the long-term prosthetic requirements, e.g., fatigue and wear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of titanium, titanium alloys, and related materials for biomedical applications
TL;DR: A review of surface modification techniques for titanium and titanium alloys can be found in this article, where the authors have shown that the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biological properties can be improved selectively using the appropriate surface treatment techniques while the desirable bulk attributes of the materials are retained.
Book
Principles and prevention of corrosion
TL;DR: In this article, the technology and evaluation of Corrosion is presented, with a focus on the effects of Metallurgical Structure on Corrosions, and a discussion of materials selection and design.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.
