SERIES PRODUCTION OF CE-CERTIFIED ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANTS WITH INTEGRATED POROUS STRUCTURES FOR IMPROVED BONE INGROWTH

摘要

The CE-certifled Fixa Ti-Por and DELTA TT acetabular cups from the orthopedic implant manufacturers Adler Ortho and Lima-Lto both have an integrated porous structure for improved bone ingrowth. The feedback from more than 5.000 performed surgeries is excellent, verifying that the strong surface grip of the cup design supports the primary fixation granted by the hemispherical press-fit. The acetabular cups are produced in Ti6Al4V with Additive Manufacturing, using the Electron Beam Melting technology from Arcam.
