Which, again, nothing to do with the implant being rejected. The bones being eroded by the metal why we have metal-on-metal hip replacements now. Cool, how do you test that? The link to the paper works for me. It's basically about how a coat makes a titanium rod bond better with bone (helping it heal fast). So, very much a thing: Even after 28 days, no reaction. Bacteria becoming resistent to antibiotics faster than we create them has nothing to do with developing materials that don't trigger the immune system. You seem to think that we will never be able to develop something that makes our bodies accept implants. Apparently, the immune system is so great at sniffing out foreign substances that we will never be able to trick it. Never is a very bold claim to make. One that isn't supported by the evidence.but the bone around it had impacted and eroded so fiercely that one leg was 3/4" shorter than the other.
I built the testers to simulate ten years of normal wear on implantable shock/pace leads. And I broke them.
"All implants healed uneventfully without wound infection, implant loosening or chronic adverse reaction during the whole course of the experiment. In particular, no abundant lymphocyte or granuloclyte infiltration and no appearance of multinucleated giant cells (apart from osteoclasts) has been observed at any time."
that side is not progressive.
