However, the survivorship of hip, knee, shoulder, and other implants is limited. The degradation of materials and the immune response against degradation products or an altered tissue loading condition as well as infections remain key factors of their failure. Current research in biomechanics and biomaterials is trying to overcome these existing limitations. This includes new implant designs and materials, bearings concepts and tribology, kinematical concepts, surgical techniques, and anti-inflammatory and infection prevention strategies. A careful evaluation of new materials and concepts is required in order to fully assess the strengths and weaknesses and to improve the quality and outcomes of joint replacements. Therefore, extensive research and clinical trials are essential. The main aspects that are addressed in this Special Issue are related to new material, design and manufacturing considerations of implants, implant wear and its potential clinical consequence, implant fixation, infection-related material aspects, and taper-related research topics. This Special Issue gives an overview of the ongoing research in those fields. The contributions were solicited from researchers working in the fields of biomechanics, biomaterials, and bio- and tissue-engineering.Information technology industriesbicsscelectrocauterytitanium alloycobalt-chrome alloyfatigue behaviorbiomechanical studyVertebral body replacement (VBR)non metallicradiolucentCF/PEEKbiomechanicstumorvertebral fracturespinecalcium phosphategranulesbone graft substitutestotal hip arthroplastyimplant deformationacetabulumMetasul28 mm small headmetal-on-metal THAcobaltchromiumtitaniumblood metal ionsinflammationcytokinesmetal particlesmetal ionssynoviumdual taper modular hip stemacetabular revisionasymptomatic stem modularitydecision making modelthresholdbiomaterialsarthroplastyorthopaedic tribologyexperimental simulationtotal knee replacementPEEK-OPTIMA™UHMWPEthird body wearmodular acetabular cuppoly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK)ceramicsultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE)strain distributionbone stockcup-inlay stabilitydisassembly forcesrelative motionperiprosthetic joint infectionsinfection prophylaxisStaphylococcus epidermidisin vivo osteomyelitis modelmetal wearretrieval studymetal-on-metal articulationvolumetric wearmegaendoprosthesistotal knee arthroplastybone tumorRoentgen stereophotogrammetric analysiship arthroplastyelementary geometrical shape modelinterchangeabilityhead-taper junctionmigrationion implantationprecision castingTi6Al4Vcalciumphosphoruscentrifugal castingporous implantstantalumhip replacementrevision hip arthroplastyprimary stabilitybackside wearcross-linkedtotal hip replacementhip cup systemcompositefiberspolycarbonate-urethanemeniscal replacementmechanical propertiesmeniscussilicon nitridecoatingjoint replacementwearadhesiontrunnionosistrunnion failurefretting corrosionhead-neck junctionmechanically assisted crevice corrosionimplantbiomaterialcorrosionresidual stresstaper connectionanodic polarizationsurface treatmentknee jointpatellar componentmusculoskeletal multibody simulationpatellofemoral jointpolyetheretherketonefixationdebondingimplant-cement interfacePMMAperiprosthetic joint infectioncement spacerarticulating spacerhip spacertwo-stage revisionsurface alterationsurface roughnessthird-body wearzirconium oxide particlesmetal-on-cement articulationoxford unicompartmental knee arthroplastybearing thicknessretrieval analysisbiomedical rheologyviscositybovine calf serumshear thinningnumerical simulationInformation technology industriesKretzer J.
