Abstract

This article focuses on materials used as bone substitutes. The materials may be used as substitutes for autografts or, in some cases, along with autografts. Each material has unique properties that may be beneficial for specific applications. Some future developments in bone substitute materials are also discussed.

The microscopic interaction between silicone and the surrounding tissues.

Biocompatibility is a pivotal issue in the use of any implantable biomaterial. This article describes some of the issues surrounding the use of silicone implants for first metatarsophalangeal joint prostheses. The focus is on the interactions between the implant and the surrounding tissues. Common histologic findings are also discussed.

Imaging of ossicular prostheses.

The prostheses available for reconstruction of the ossicular chain have expanded to include a variety of synthetic materials. Hydroxyapatite contains the inorganic constituents found in human living bone and is currently being incorporated into many new prostheses. This study demonstrates the computed tomography and magnetic resonance image characteristics of eight middle ear prostheses, a block of dense hydroxyapatite, and a human incus. Imaging of ossicular prostheses is more informative with computed tomography.
