Mechano‐Bactericidal Activities of Orthopedic Implants with Nanostructured Surfaces: Recent Advances and Prospects (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 4/2025)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Mechano-Bactericidal Surfaces Mechano-bactericidal strategies are regarded as the potential alternative for antibiotic treatment in peri-implant infections. In article 2400004, Yuzheng Wu, Pei Liu, and Paul K. Chu introduce the recent advances in mechano-bactericidal strategies of three commercial orthopedic materials, including titanium, magnesium, and polyether-ether-ketone. The uneven development among these materials is discussed, and the possible techniques are proposed to pave the way for clinical applications.
