Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To explore biomechanics following femoral prosthesis implantation.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed with key words “biomechanics, femoral prosthesis” in English and Chinese. Articles related to biomechanics following femoral prosthesis implantation, published recently in authoritative journals of the same domain were selected. Finally, 26 articles were included.
RESULTS: Bone repair materials commonly used included autologous bone and metal prosthesis. Autologous bone is ideal repair materials, but bone acquisition increases trauma and pain for patients, and the source is greatly limited. Metal prosthesis is sensitive to wound, with some disadvantages, such as loosening, breakage, poor histocompatibility, and nondegradable.
CONCLUSION: Orthopedic implants application has resolved problems in orthopedic field. Ideal artificial bone substitutes for bone defects are important for medical and tissue engineering fields.
