To clarify the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on osteoblast functions in the presence of metal particles, two human osteoblast-like cell lines (MG-63 and SaOS-2) were cultured with TNF-alpha in the presence or absence of titanium particles in vi ...
Purpose of the study After total hip replacement, the initial stability of the cementless femoral stem is a prerequisite for ensuring bone ingrowth and therefore long term fixation of the stem. For custom made implants, long term success of the replacement ...
Motivated by applications in orthopaedic surgery, new constitutive laws for trabecular (or spongious) bone are developed in the framework of continuum mechanics, implemented in a mechanical analysis computer program, validated by a number of in vitro exper ...
The cement for surgical purposes includes three components. The first component includes beta tertiary calciumphosphate beta-Ca3(PO4)2(beta-TCP) particles; and monocalcium phosphate Ca(H2PO4)2(MCPA) or monocalcium phosphate monohydrate Ca(H2PO4).H2O (MCPM) ...
