This manuscript reviews the development of femoral stem prostheses in the biomedical field.
After a brief introduction on the development of these prostheses and the associated …

Additive manufacturing (AM), nowadays commonly known as 3D printing, is a revolutionary
materials processing technology, particularly suitable for the production of low-volume parts …

Selective laser melting (SLM) technology can manufacture complex lattice structures, which
effectively reduces the manufacturing constraint and significantly increases the design …

One of the main biomechanical causes for aseptic failure of orthopaedic implants is the
stress shielding. This is caused by an uneven load distribution across the bone normally due …

For over ten years, metallic skeletal endoprostheses have been produced in select cases by
additive manufacturing (AM) and increasing awareness is driving demand for wider access …

A novel approach has been proposed for the design of porosity-graded lattice structures
suitable for bone replacement applications. A MATLAB routine was developed in order to …

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) with porosity variation strategy mimicking natural
bone are potential high-performance biomaterials for orthopedic implants. The architecture …

The triple-and double-layered mesh Ti-based alloy scaffolds were successfully fabricated
using electron beam melting (EBM). In this study Ti-based alloy cylindrical scaffolds with …

Selective laser melting (SLM) is among the best technologies to realize near-net forming of
metal parts. The process involves the matching of various process parameters to achieve the …

The current study is proposing a design envelope for porous Ti-6Al-4V alloy femoral stems
to survive under fatigue loads. Numerical computational analysis of these stems with a body …
