- Additional information
- Stiffness mismatch between host tissue and cobalt-chromium (CoCr) hip implants causes stress shielding leading to loosening of the femoral stem. The proposed cellular CoCr concept allows for stiffness personalisation resulting in uniform load transfer at the implant-tissue interface. The proposed direction offers the potential to solve the current limitations associated with solid metallic implants. Notable exploitation of the research includes the design of porous femoral stems with adjustable stiffness by Wang et al. and critical size bone regeneration architecture by Koolen et al. accelerating the bench to bedside development of personalised orthopaedic implants.
