Objective
The specific industrial objective of this co operative research project is to design, develop and demonstrate a novel manufacturing process capable of producing customised, truly porous, HA coated, cementless, orthopaedic prostheses. Development of such technology will satisfy the clinical objective of this work which is to provide extended life prostheses, reducing the number of revision surgeries required and thereby reducing the financial and resource demands placed on European health care providers, and also improving the quality of life of the European citizen undergoing Total or Partial Joint Replacement. These objectives will be achieved through the fulfilment of technical objectives relating to: . the development of a manufacturing process to create the optimum implant from bio compatible alloys in the form of a hig strength, NON RANDOM microporous structure with a conventional forged core . the enhancement of plasma deposition techniques in order that a coating of hydroxylapatite may be applied to, and bond with, the surface of the microporous alloy without unfavourable microstructural transformations occurring . pre clinical trials of the new biomaterial tissue interface the processing of high resolution medical imaging data to provide a 3D CAD representation of the patient specific implant site, and the manipulation of that CAD data to generate a 3D CAD model of the optimum implant design to fit that site These technical objectives will be achieved by combining the current 'state of the art' in medical imaging, 3D CAD, rapid Selective Laser Sintering, biometal and HA plasma deposition ansd HA wet deposition, and developing it further to produce a new technology that (with further post project development and clinical trials) will be industrially exploitable throughout the European health care sector.
