Abstract

The repair or reconstruction of damaged or diseased parts of the musculoskeletal system requires various implants [1,2]. In particular, implants are used for the internal fixation of fractured bones and joints (such as hips, knees, fingers and jaws). They can also serve as prosthetic heart valves, intervertebral disk spacers, teeth, tendons and ligaments.
