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 industriesbicssc28 mm small headacetabular revisionacetabulumadhesionanodic polarizationarthroplastyarticulating spacerasymptomatic stem modularitybackside wearbearing thicknessbiomaterialbiomaterialsbiomechanical studybiomechanicsbiomedical rheologyblood metal ionsbone graft substitutesbone stockbone tumorbovine calf serumcalciumcalcium phosphatecement spacercentrifugal castingceramicsCF/PEEKchromiumcoatingcobaltcobalt-chrome alloycompositecorrosioncross-linkedcup-inlay stabilitycytokinesdebondingdecision making modeldisassembly forcesdual taper modular hip stemelectrocauteryelementary geometrical shape modelexperimental simulationfatigue behaviorfibersfixationfretting corrosiongranuleshead-neck junctionhead-taper junctionhip arthroplastyhip cup systemhip replacementhip spacerimplantimplant deformationimplant-cement interfacein vivo osteomyelitis modelinfection prophylaxisinflammationinterchangeabilityion implantationjoint replacementknee jointmechanical propertiesmechanically assisted crevice corrosionmegaendoprosthesismeniscal replacementmeniscusmetal ionsmetal particlesmetal wearmetal-on-cement articulationmetal-on-metal articulationmetal-on-metal THAMetasulmigrationmodular acetabular cupmusculoskeletal multibody simulationn/anon metallicnumerical simulationorthopaedic tribologyoxford unicompartmental knee arthroplastypatellar componentpatellofemoral jointPEEK-OPTIMA™periprosthetic joint infectionperiprosthetic joint infectionsphosphorusPMMApoly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK)polycarbonate-urethanepolyetheretherketoneporous implantsprecision castingprimary stabilityradiolucentrelative motionresidual stressretrieval analysisretrieval studyrevision hip arthroplastyRoentgen stereophotogrammetric analysisshear thinningsilicon nitridespineStaphylococcus epidermidisstrain distributionsurface alterationsurface roughnesssurface treatmentsynoviumtantalumtaper connectionthird body wearthird-body wearthresholdTi6Al4Vtitaniumtitanium alloytotal hip arthroplastytotal hip replacementtotal knee arthroplastytotal knee replacementtrunnion failuretrunnionosistumortwo-stage revisionUHMWPEultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE)Vertebral body replacement (VBR)vertebral fractureviscosityvolumetric wearwearzirconium oxide particlesInformation technology industriesKretzer J.
