Safety and efficacy of a novel three-dimensional printed microporous titanium prosthesis for total wrist arthroplasty in the treatment of end-stage wrist arthritis

“…Additive manufacturing, often known as three-dimensional (3D) printing or prototyping, can convert 3D digital models into functioning components regardless of their geometry Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology frontiersin.org (Raheem et al, 2021). Selective laser melting metal 3D printing technology is able to construct complex free-form surfaces, print parts with proper toughness and elastic modulus, and even surface coating layer (Yang et al, 2021). Owing to these properties, 3D printing technology has been employed in the field of hand surgery research for artificial lunar bone replacement and good results have been obtained in the treatment of advanced Kienböck's disease (Ma et al, 2020).…”

Mechanism of tetraborate and silicate ions on the growth kinetics of microarc oxidation coating on a Ti6Al4V alloy

“…Titanium alloy is widely used in numerous elds because of its low density, good mechanical property and corrosion resistance. 1 Microarc oxidation (MAO) is a common method used to improve its surface properties. Microarc oxidation ceramic coating has broad applications in national defense, aerospace, mechanical electronics, automobile transportation, petrochemical industry, and biomedical instrument owing to its excellent properties (e.g., high hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, good biocompatibility, and strong metallurgical bonding strength).…”
