Size tuning of Ag‐decorated TiO2 nanotube arrays for improved bactericidal capacity of orthopedic implants [electronic resource]
, Article Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A ; Auguest 2014, Vol. 102, Issue 8, P.2625-35 ; Simchi, A. (Abdolreza) ; Bagheri, R ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Surface modification of orthopedic implants using titanium dioxide nanotubes and silver nanoparticles (SNs) is a promising approach to prevent bacteria adhesion, biofilm formation, and implant infection. Herein, we utilized a straightforward and all-solution process to prepare silver-decorated TiO2 nanotube arrays with surface density of 10(3) to 10(4) per µm(2). With controlling the synthesis conditions, hexagonal closed-packed nanotubes with opening diameter of 30-100 nm that are decorated with SNs with varying sizes (12-40 nm) were prepared. Various analytical techniques were utilized to characterize the size, morphology, distribution, valance state, surface roughness, and composition of...
Design, Simulation, Prototyping and Analysis of a Lengthening Femoral Implant

Abstract
Motorized intramedullary nails are a viable solution to treat patients with limb-length inequality. These fully implanted devices use external magnetic actuation to extend. This research examines the conceptual design of this type of nails by investigating various ideas and previous designs. The implant mechanism, body and controller are designed in detail. It was then simulated in standard tests to evaluate it. In addition, the implanted nail undergoes a biomechanical analysis and its stiffness is assessed. Finally, the controller design is carried out using dipole magnetic theory and verified by finite element simulations. As a proof of concept, we made a prototype that is twice the size...
Mixed oxide nanotubes in nanomedicine: A dead-end or a bridge to the future?

Abstract
Nanomedicine has seen a significant rise in the development of new research tools and clinically functional devices. In this regard, significant advances and new commercial applications are expected in the pharmaceutical and orthopedic industries. For advanced orthopedic implant technologies, appropriate nanoscale surface modifications are highly effective strategies and are widely studied in the literature for improving implant performance. It is well-established that implants with nanotubular surfaces show a drastic improvement in new bone creation and gene expression compared to implants without nanotopography. Nevertheless, the scientific and clinical understanding of mixed oxide...

Recent progress in inorganic and composite coatings with bactericidal capability for orthopaedic applications
, Article Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine ; Volume 7, Issue 1 , Feb , 2011 , Pages 22-39 ; 15499634 (ISSN) ; Tamjid, E ; Pishbin, F ; Boccaccini, A. R ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This review covers the most recent developments of inorganic and organic-inorganic composite coatings for orthopedic implants, providing the interface with living tissue and with potential for drug delivery to combat infections. Conventional systemic delivery of drugs is an inefficient procedure that may cause toxicity and may require a patient's hospitalization for monitoring. Local delivery of antibiotics and other bioactive molecules maximizes their effect where they are required, reduces potential systemic toxicity and increases timeliness and cost efficiency. In addition, local delivery has broad applications in combating infection-related diseases. Polymeric coatings may present some...
