Overview

This study aims to provide surgeons and researchers with information on current developments in implant surgery and the development of implant arthroplasty. The contributions come from an international faculty of orthopaedic surgeons, biologists and engineers. They examine the junctional tissues between an implant and the bone in joint replacement surgery. The factors that influence junctional tissues and so affect the life-span of the implant are thoroughly discussed. These include data on the microscopy of the junctional tissues, the mechanical properties of cement and the architecture of bone and implant design. The discussions following each contribution give insight into background information and the controversial aspects of surgical implants.
