Biomimetic Bonelike Composites and Novel Bioactive Glass Coatings

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: 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 implant materials specifically designed for orthopaedic applications.
