Abstract

New carbon nanostructured material is an ideal candidate for bone defects substitution and development of fundamental approaches for conventional orthopaedic surgery. Experiment on rats has been performed, which demonstrated biological compatibility with bone. Some characteristics of biocomposite at the bone-to-implant interface have been described. Mechanical properties of a wedge-shaped implant were tested under static and cyclic loading conditions. The need incompression between bone and implant has been shown. Clinical application of some special-shaped implants for substituting large bone defects and axial bone disorders has been performed. The excellent clinical and economic prospects of new carbon nanostructural implants have been demonstrated.
