Carbon and Plastic Materials for Orthopaedic Implants

  • Chapter
Materials Sciences and Implant Orthopedic Surgery

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 116))

Abstract

Plastics materials have influenced orthopaedic surgical trends over recent years. Orthopaedic pioneers have stimulated the attention of both materials scientists and engineers for many years and have changed many of the original ideas of implant surgery.
