HA-TCP Augmented Cage-Role on Fusion in Cervical Spine

  • Chapter
Cervical Spine

  • 2159 Accesses

Abstract

Medical application is one of the most exciting and rewarding research areas of the materials science. Examples from our daily life are sutures, catheters, heart valves, pacemakers, breast implants, fracture fixation plates, nails and screws in orthopedics, dental filling materials, orthodontic wires, as well as total joint replacement prostheses. During the past decades, both an ageing population and a democratization of high-risk sports have led to a surge of bone-related diseases and bone fractures, which must be treated through implants. In order to be accepted by the living body, all implantable items must be prepared from a special class of materials, called biomedical materials or biomaterials in short.
