Stress shielding at the bone-implant interface: influence of surface roughness and of the bone-implant contact ratio [PDF]
Short and long-term stabilities of cementless implants are strongly determined by the interfacial load transfer between implants and bone tissue. Stress-shielding effects arise from shear stresses due to the difference of material properties between bone and the implant.

Abstract Background Expandable endoprostheses can be used to equalize limb length for pediatric patients requiring reconstruction following large bony oncologic resections. Outcomes of the Compress® Compliant Pre‐Stress (CPS) spindle paired with an Orthopedic Salvage System expandable distal femur endoprosthesis have not been reported.

Influence of implant surfaces on osseointegration [PDF]
The biological fixation between the dental implant surfaces and jaw bones should be considered a prerequisite for the long-term success of implant-supported prostheses. In this context, the implant surface modifications gained an important and decisive place in implant research over the last years.

The percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) prostheses have greatly improved the overall quality of life for amputees. However, the long-term maintenance of the OI prostheses is still challenging. A major problem is bone resorption around the bone-implant-skin interface, which might cause implant loosening or osteomyelitis. Another problem is the breakage of

New developments in prosthetic arm systems [PDF]
Absence of an upper limb leads to severe impairments in everyday life, which can further influence the social and mental state. For these reasons, early developments in cosmetic and body-driven prostheses date some centuries ago, and they have been ...

Fluidic force microscopy and atomic force microscopy are used to investigate the interaction of preosteoblast cells with patterned surfaces having different pillar heights. The results reveal differences in cell adhesion strength, settling state, cytoskeleton reorganization and local elastic modulus between the cells adhered on the two different ...
