1. Experimental implant-associated orthopaedic infections
Sammanfattning : Although indispensable in today's medicine, orthopaedic implants may also cause adverse reactions. A foreign body increases the local susceptibility to colonisation by microorganisms, and hence the risk of infections. These infections are rare, but many result in prolonged or permanent impairment. LÄS MER
2. On the pathogenesis of infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated orthopaedic implants
Sammanfattning : Orthopaedic implants enable the restitution of locomotor function and improve the quality of life of many people. However, biomaterial-associated infection may occur due to the propensity of microorganisms to adhere and colonize implant surfaces. LÄS MER
3. Infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated titanium implants for limb prostheses
Sammanfattning : Femoral amputation is a devastating event. Percutaneous, bone anchored prosthetic systems reduce problems associated with socket suspended prostheses, but the design is inherently vulnerable to infection. LÄS MER
4. Antibacterial Strategies for Titanium Biomaterials
Sammanfattning : Titanium and titanium based alloys are widely used in dentistry and orthopedics to replace hard tissue and to mend broken bones. It has become a material of choice due to its low density, high strength, good biocompatibility and its capacity to integrate closely with the bone. LÄS MER
