Sintered Compacts of Titanium-Hydroxyapatite Used in Medicine

Article Preview

Abstract:

The selective laser sintering process use the coposites powders titan-hydroxyapatite to realize prothesis in orthopedy, for hip, for knee or for shoulder. The bone structure have in common the principal protein component: the collagen and a little amount of organics phases and a inorganic component hydroxyapatite. The functionality of biomaterials must assure a good osteointegration of endobone implants. Materials for implants must present a gradient for porosity and a bioactive phase like hydroxyapatite in titan matrix.
