The emergence of additive manufacturing technologies into orthopedics has been transformative, advancing device intricacy and performance while offering patient-specific solutions. While 3D print resolution has steadily advanced during this evolution, post-processing is often a necessity to remove s...

Interest and demand are growing for nano-engineered titanium coatings and surface treatments to improve the performance of PEEK- and metal-based implants used for orthopedic and spinal device applications. Recent work has demonstrated that highly-adherent nano-structured thin tit...
The combination of 3D printing technologies with bioresorbable medical polymers represents a cutting-edge approach to enable patient-specific implants that can be printed rapidly for reconstructive surgeries and other orthopedic applications. This paper reviews the suitability of bioresorbable polym...
