This volume presents a complete statistical analysis of data from the clinical trials of the wide variety of types of prostheses used in skeletal repair. The contributions are written by professionals in medicine, dentistry and engineering and cover all the information regarding the lifetime survivablility of each type of implant. The biomolecular and biomechanical factors responsible for the relative clinical success are described in the 16 chapters. This text should be useful reading for orthopaedic surgeons, dental implantologists and ENT surgeons, as well as senior graduate and postgraduate biomaterial, medical and dental students.

This is the personal story of a remarkable discovery that has changed the course of medicine and repair of the human body. For millennia it was accepted that the human body would ultimately reject all foreign materials - the so-called "biocompatibility barrier". A fateful encounter between the author and a colonel in the US Army Medical Corps on a bus ride in 1967 led to research that created a special composition of glass that was not rejected - but in fact, became bonded to living bone. This unique material, called Bioglass, launched a revolution in repair of the human body by use of bioactive materials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This is the story that chronicles the steps from the seminal concept of bioactivity to clinical repair of millions of patients. This is the story of a team of creative people on two continents working together. It is a story that offers hope to improve the quality of life for our aging population.
