What is Full Length Article about?

A wide range of metallic alloys has been evaluated for musculoskeletal surgical implant devices. Significant issues relating to the biocompatibility and longevity of synthetic materials include: mechanical strength, surface stability along tissue interfaces and as articulating bearings for joint replacements, and relative cost. Metallic biomaterials have been the materials of choice for most orthopaedic and dental devices in which functional loads are transferred to bone. Multiple techniques have been utilized to alter surface properties to obtain more optimal integration with bone (osteointegration), bonding with polymeric lute fillers for rapid stabilization and functional loading (within hours), and resistance to fretting and wear during articulation. Experience over 25 years of biomaterial and device research and development is considered from a prospective of what has been attempted, what has shown advantages and where we should be heading in the future.
