Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have attracted significant industrial
interest. Initially, AM was mainly associated with the fabrication of prototypes, but the AM …

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are innovative materials whose composition and/or
microstructure gradually vary in space according to a designed law. As a result, also the …

Evolution of metallurgy and biomaterials has progressively shifted the focus of metallic bone-
interfacing implant design from adequate mechanical strength and biocompatibility to rapid …

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 …

The stress-shielding (SS) effects following orthopedic implantation can lead to implant
loosening. Functionally graded materials (FGMs) and coatings (FGCs) are special …

Stress shielding secondary to bone resorption is one of the main causes of aseptic
loosening, which limits the lifespan of the hip prostheses and increases the rates of revision …

The total hip prosthesis is considered one of the greatest advancements in orthopaedic
surgery in the early 20th century. In hip implant replacement, the stem is inserted into the …
