The Use of Modelling To Predict Implant Behaviour
K. Ong and S. Kurtz
Finite element analysis can be a useful tool for assessing the clinical performance of a new product in addition to developing and evaluating its design. The benefits and limitations of using this technique for orthopaedic products are examined here.
Development of Bioresorbable Composite Materials for Orthopaedic Devices
Mark Berry
Metallic bone plates and screws are increasingly being replaced by bioresorbable implants. The next stage is to use bioresorbable materials for high-strength fixation applications.
Metal Fabrication Systems Target Speed and Precision
Norbert Sparrow
Machine builders are helping implant manufacturers to minimize secondary operations and boost productivity while meeting ever-tighter tolerances.
