7H: Orthopaedic Biomaterials SIG 3

There are increasing demands for orthopedic biomaterials which play critical roles in patient care. This session invites presentations on metals, ceramics, and polymers that are used every day in modern orthopedic applications. Particular focuses will include octacalcium phosphates, bioabsorbable metallic materials, biomaterial degradation and impacts, and additive manufacturing. Applications will span across orthopedic, cardiovascular, craniomaxillofacial implants, etc. In vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies, as well as studies focusing on commercialization and clinical/translational challenges are welcome.
