Metal implants are widely used in the treatment of orthopedic diseases. However, owing to
the mismatched elastic modulus of the bone and implants, stress shielding often occurs …

Background Total joint replacements are an established treatment for patients suffering from
reduced mobility and pain due to severe joint damage. Aseptic loosening due to stress …

The tilted implant with immediate function is increasingly used in clinical dental therapy for
edentulous and partially edentulous patients with excessive bone resorption and the …

Titanium plates are widely used in clinical settings because of their high bone affinity.
However, owing to their high elastic modulus, these plates are not suitable for bone repair …

In this study, a multi-objective topology optimization method has been formulated and
carried out for various resection types, with minimization of a weighted sum of the …

Recent advances in 3D printable micro-architected materials offer unprecedented
possibilities for the development of highly tailored orthopaedic implants. These devices …

For the past 20 years, the democratization of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies has
made many of us dream of: low cost, waste-free, and on-demand production of functional …

Background Dense and stiff metallic femoral stems implanted into femurs for total hip
arthroplasties produce a stress shielding effect since they modify the original load sharing …

The design of commercially available fixation plates and the materials used for their
fabrication lead to the plates being stiffer than bone. Consequently, commercial plates are …

Reducing stress shielding of stem-inserted femurs in total hip arthroplasty caused by the
high stiffness of the stem is an emerging medical engineering issue. In this study, a …
