Research progress

The discipline of orthopedic implants is constantly evolving as new biomaterials become available. An important consideration in this respect is that the health status of the patient influences the optimal choice of the material to be implanted. For instance it was shown that patients with steatotic liver disease benefit from nanohydroxyapatite-coated (nHA) titanium surfaces, whereas this is not necessary for patients without fatty liver disease. A surface engineering method was developed for biodegradable magnesium alloys to enhance orthopedic implants.
