ABSTRACT Introduction: Titanium (Ti) and their alloys are used as main implant materials in
orthopedics and dentistry for decades having superior mechanical properties, chemical …

Background Healthcare services are facing economic constraints globally with an
increasingly elderly population, and greater burdens of osteoarthritis. Because of the chronic …

The use of biomaterials in orthopaedics for joint replacement, fracture healing and bone
regeneration is a rapidly expanding field. Infection of these biomaterials is a major …

Background Hip arthroplasty and revision surgery is growing exponentially in OECD
countries, but rates vary between countries. Methods We extracted economic data and …

Here we present the design of an engineered, elastin-like protein (ELP) that is chemically
modified to enable stable coatings on the surfaces of titanium-based dental and orthopaedic …

Background: Since 2008, there has been an increase in the use of minimally invasive
surgery (MIS) through an anterior or anterolateral approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in …

The results of modern cemented and uncemented total hip arthroplasties are outstanding
and both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. This paper aims to examine …

Aims The aim of this study was to identify patient-and surgery-related risk factors for
sustaining an early periprosthetic fracture following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) …

Background and purpose—The use of uncemented fixation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is
increasing. Registry studies have indicated an increased risk of revision of uncemented …

Objective To compare 10 year revision rates for frequently used types of primary total hip
replacement to inform setting of a new benchmark rate in England and Wales that will be of …
