The outcomes of 153 ITI titanium plasma-sprayed screw implants were studied in 39 patients. Four implants were placed in the edentulous mandible between the mental foramina and used as support for a denture prosthesis. Thirteen implants in six patients had been lost during the follow-up time of 3 to 10 years (mean 5.6 years). The mean annual bone resorption was 0.25 mm (SD 0.29 mm; range 0 to 1.37 mm). Bone loss was smaller in patients with prosthetic loading applied within 7 postoperative days than in those with delayed prosthetic treatment. No evidence of bone loss was seen around 37 (26.4%) implants. The cumulative and overall success rates for titanium plasma-sprayed implants were 80.8% and 91.5%, respectively. The corresponding figures for the patients were 86.8% and 94.9%.

Introduction: Short cementless stems offer advantages such as bone-stock preservation and minimally invasive insertion. Despite encouraging short- to midterm outcomes, the long-term clinical and radiological implications of short, titanium, and porous plasma-sprayed flat-tapered stems remain unclear.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 138 primary total hip arthroplasties, conducted between 2010 and 2015 in 130 patients, with a minimum 8-year follow-up was performed.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the revision rate and long-term survival between two generations of uncemented dual mobility cup (DMC) from the same manufacturer in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a minimum follow-up of 10 years.
Methods: This retrospective monocentric study included all THA performed with an uncemented DMC from the same company. The cohort included 150 patients with 22 first-generation DMC and 128 second-generation DMC.

Background Context: Methods to improve osseointegration of orthopedic spinal implants remains a clinical challenge. Materials composed of poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and titanium are commonly used in orthopedic applications due to their inherent properties of biocompatibility. Titanium has a clinical reputation for durability and osseous affinity, and PEEK offers advantages of a modulus that approximates osseous structures and is radiolucent.

This study investigated the performance of photocatalytic titanium dioxide microfiltration membranes with an average pore size of approximately 180 nm and ultrafiltration membranes with an average pore size of around 40 nm fabricated with the suspension plasma spray process. The membranes were evaluated for their filtration performance using SiO particles of different sizes and polyethylene oxide with molecular weights of 20 kDa to 1000 kDa, and the fouling parameters were characterized. The rejection rate was enhanced by increasing the thickness of the membranes.
