The development of nanoparticulate materials for biodegradable bone fracture plates: (I)
A cost effective route for the production of nanoparticulate calcium carbonate with high phase purity, a narrow particle size range and low tendency for agglomeration represents a crucial stage in the development of degradable nanocomposite materials for the manufacture of fracture fixation plates. In this study, the size, morphology and zeta potential of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitated ...

Titanium but not just titanium
Titanium and its alloys have many advantages as surgical implant materials, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, and low X-ray absorption rate Etc., thus occupying an increasingly important position in medical metal materials. Titanium and its alloys can be used for the repair and replacement of ...

Ultrastructural characterisation of the hydroxyapatite–coated pedicle screw and human bone interface
The early fixation of pedicle screws is crucial for improving spinal stabilisation. Firm and immediate fixation between pedicle screws and bone prevents aseptic loosening and implant failure. Coating with hydroxyapatite is a possible method to improve the fixation of metallic implants in bone. In this study, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been used to investigate the ...

Applications of the High Polymers in Medical Science
Introduction With the wide application of high polymers, more and more extensive researches on high polymers have been conducted in recent years. Many papers and monographs discussed the important characteristics of high polymers and their important applications in medicine. Macromolecule/high polymers can be used in surgery, suture, orthopedic fixation and tissue repair. They can also be used as ...
