Characterization and efficacy of bisphosphonate eluting orthopaedic implants
EF 2008-09
Résumé
Many joint replacement devices are attached directly to bone by encouraging bone formation in and around the implant surface. The use of drugs such as bisphosphponates that enhance local bone formation would improve the efficacy and longevity of implant fixation. Attaching bisphosphonate compounds directly to an implant for progressive release to surrounding bone is a simple and effective means to achieve this goal.
