Extract

Bone-interfacing surgical implants used in orthopedics and dentistry must bear the forces of normal patient activity with minimal risk of mechanical failure of the implant. This requires using appropriate materials and designs for implant fabrication. Additionally, reliable long-term implant attachment to host bone must be assured so that effective force transfer between implant and bone occurs for the patient's lifetime without the implant loosening. With recent advances in implant designs and techniques for their placement, effective implant fixation to bone can last for years (decades) either directly or through an acceptable intermediate fibrous tissue layer at the bone-implant interface. With approximately 500,000 artificial hips implanted annually worldwide and the demand for other joint replacements approaching the same order of magnitude, as well as the recent major growth in the use of dental implants (300,300 projected for insertion in North America alone in 1991), the assurance of effective implant-to-bone fixation is extremely important.

Studies of implant biocompatibility have resulted from concerns over the cumulative effects of foreign element release through implant corrosion and wear. Accumulation of this debris in tissues both local and remote to implant sites over the long term is a concern. Of equal importance, for load-bearing implants, are studies to determine the important factors for successful long-term implant fixation. Current trends in design and use of both dental and orthopedic implants reflect the trial-and-error approach that has characterized this field for decades.
