Although porous polyethylene (PPE) implants are already used in reconstructive craniofacial surgery, they are still only applied in rhinoplasty when critically indicated. Biocompatibility of PPE implants (pore size ~100-200 µm) can be modified by tissue engineering: coatings with extracellular matrix

There is no substantial clinical evidence for the superiority of alternative bearings in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We compared the short-term revision risk in alternative surface bearing knees (oxidized zirconium (OZ) femoral implants or highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) inserts) with
