Main description:

Osseoconductive Surface Engineering for Orthopedic Implants provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of osseointegration based on surface-mediated engineering.

It offers a practical approach to the design and development of implant surface engineering, by reviewing and discussing the usability and efficacy of each processing technique. The reader can learn about the variety, characteristics, advantages, challenges, and optimum parameters for each process-enabling targeted selection of coatings and technologies to enhance long-term implant-bone integration.
