Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials
always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of …

A The present overview describes various production techniques for biocompatible calcium
orthophosphate (abbreviated as CaPO4) deposits (coatings, films and layers) on the …

Background Modular endoprostheses are commonly used to reconstruct defects of the distal
femur and proximal tibia after bone tumor resection. Because limb salvage surgery for bone …

Purpose We initiated a retrospective study on the long-term survival of cemented
endoprostheses for bone tumours around the knee to answer the following questions:(1) …

Background Excision of bone tumors and endoprosthetic reconstruction allow patients early
weightbearing and a potential functional advantage compared with amputation. These …

Aims Following the resection of an extensive amount of bone in the treatment of a tumour,
the residual segment may be insufficient to accept a standard length intramedullary …

Aims Rotating-hinge knee prostheses are commonly used to reconstruct the distal femur
after resection of a tumour, despite the projected long-term burden of reoperation due to …

Aims Endoprosthetic reconstruction following distal femur tumour resection has been widely
advocated. In this paper, we present the design of an uncemented endoprosthesis system …

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) biomaterials are intended for use as bone substitutes, target functional
agents in theranostics or bioimaging due to affinity for hard tissues, biocompatibility, and …

In recent decades, limb-salvage surgery has replaced amputation as the first choice for the
treatment of bone tumors around knee. After tumor resection, there are a variety of …
