Osseoconductive Surface Engineering for Orthopedic Implants (eBook)

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. - Practical and engineering notions in the field of osseoconductive surface engineering are reviewed and discussed using scientific principles and concepts. - Engineering cases are analyzed in depth giving a thorough exploration and description of the engineering and scientific concepts for all osseoconductive surface engineering processes. - Chapters integrate topics and are organised in such a way as to build on themes and practice.

Amirhossein Goharian is a Senior Engineer working in the orthopedic implant industry. He earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Kashan in 2007, and his completed his Master's in Mechanical Engineering in Biomechanics at the University Technology Malaysia (UTM) in 2012. He joined the R&D department of LEONIX Sdn. Bhd., Penang, Malaysia, in 2012, rising to Senior R&D Leader in Jan 2015. In 2017, he joined Isfahan Orthopedic Implant Development Co., an orthopedic implant manufacturer in Isfahan, Iran, as the QA-R&D leader until Sep 2020. Since then, he has been developing innovations in the field of orthopedic implants, based on ideas set out in his published work. Goharian has previously published three books with Elsevier, covering trauma plating systems, osseointegration and surface engineering of orthopedic implants.
