The biological response to orthopaedic implants for joint replacement: Part I: Metals.
Published in Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
Joint replacement is a commonly performed, highly successful orthopaedic procedure, for which surgeons have a large choice of different materials and implant designs. The materials used for joint replacement must be both biologically acceptable to minimize adverse local tissue reactions, and robust enough to support weight bearing during common act...
