Biomaterials and biomechanical design of distal weight-bearing implants: Computational modeling, biomaterial interfaces, and clinical translation.
Distal Weight-Bearing Implants (DWBIs) represent a clinically emerging class of load-bearing medical devices in which biomaterial design, surface architecture, and biomechanical performance are tightly coupled. Their success depends not only on restoring distal support in transfemoral rehabilitation, but also on the ab...
