Abstract: The Paradigm Shift to Orthopedic Implants with Therapeutic Effect Legacy manufacturing technology limited the sophistication of orthopedic implant design and function. Additive manufacturing now provides the ability to produce implants with advanced structural designs. In contrast to the performance limitations of yesterday's static implants, today, kinetic implants can be produced that are programmed to provide a mechanical mode of action that converts physiologic load into therapeutic strain at the surgical site, amplifying osteogenic activity. The authors identify the synergistic effect between surface features, implant architecture, and mechanical environment, offering insights for optimizing next-generation orthopedic implants that provide a therapeutic effect and accelerate healing.
