Opis

This monograph explains the prototype of the biomimetic Multi-Spiked Connecting Scaffold (MSC-Scaffold) fixing in the periarticular bone, and the components of a new generation of entirely non-cemented resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) endoprostheses. It presents the design, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing of the prototype biomimetic MSC-Scaffold, including bioengineering CAD design and modelling, methods, and effects of the electro-erosion machining of the needle palisade and so forth.

Features:

• Presents the prototype of a new generation resurfacing endoprosthesis of the hip joint.
• Explains prototype endoprosthesis as the first worldwide biomimetic design.
• Insights into the entire process of bioengineering design and research on this prototype endoprosthesis.
• Proposes a novel way of fixation of the endoprosthesis components.
• Reviews structural and osteoconductive functionalisation of the interspike space of the prototype MSC-Scaffold.

This book is aimed at professionals and graduate students in biomedical engineering, endoprosthesis engineering and surgery, and biomaterials.
