Task force develops new radiation guidelines for brachytherapy
Radiation dose delivered to the prostate and nearby organs in every brachytherapy procedure should be carefully analyzed using post-implant CT or MRI and uniformly documented in every patient. view more (2009-11-03)
Same mortality but higher suicide rate among women with breast implants
A study conducted among 24,600 women by two Université Laval Faculty of Medicine researchers and their colleagues from the Canadian Public Health Agency and Cancer Care Ontario concludes that having breast implants does not increase mortality risk. view more (2006-09-20)
Breast cancer treatment offers better outcome to women with implants
Women with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone breast augmentation may be treated successfully with a partial-breast radiation treatment called brachytherapy, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-01)
Bacteria design new plastic
A recently discovered group of chemicals could pave the way to better plastics for surgical implants that are more compatible to the human body and less likely to become infected by disease-causing microbes. A paper published in the January issue of Microbiology describes the unusual properties of polythioesters (PTEs) and how they were... view more... (2001-01-19)
New joint replacement material developed at MGH put to first clinical use
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) surgeons have performed the first total hip replacement using a joint socket lined with a novel material invented at the MGH. view more (2007-07-24)
High-resolution CT scan modeling for creating facial implants aids in facial reconstruction surgery
A preliminary study suggests that high-resolution computed tomography (CT) modeling allows surgeons to custom-design acrylic implants prior to reconstructive surgery for patients with severe defects in their faces and eye cavities. view more (2006-11-21)
Brain Wave Monitor Could Replace Lumbar Puncture
Scientists in Southampton have developed non-invasive technology to measure the fluid pressure in the brain safely and painlessly which they hope will eventually reduce the need for a lumbar puncture. Collaborators in London now believe it could be a major advance in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as meningitis, head injury and... view more... (2004-12-16)
New biomedical device uses nanotechnology to monitor hip implant healing, may reduce wait times
It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. view more (2006-10-18)

High tech implants to aid facial reconstruction to be developed at Loughborough University
Loughborough University researchers have been awarded more than £200,000 to develop state-of-the-art tailor made implants for people requiring facial reconstructive surgery. view more (2004-08-26)
GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFERTILITY (p 1336)
In women, unsuccessful attachment and implantation of fertilised eggs (embryos) to the lining of the womb (endometrium), resulting in infertility, could be influenced by variation of a specific gene, conclude authors in a preliminary study described in a research letter in this week's issue of the Lancet. The failure of embryo implantation is... view more... (2001-04-25)
Dr. Roman Cibirka - Games for Health Simulation helps students learn dental implant procedures
A realistic computer game will soon be used to help dental students worldwide learn and reinforce dental implant procedures. view more (2009-06-12)
Chelmsford Businessman gets Revolutionary New 'Knee'
The active, younger population of Chelmsford, who suffer from arthritis or chronic injury can now benefit from knee replacement surgery much earlier in life due to new implant technology, called Oxinium™, which has recently been made available to everyone in the UK after 11 years of tests. Mr Steven Riches, a 53-year-old businessman with his... view more... (2004-03-03)
First High-Flex Knee Replacement Implant Shaped Specifically to Fit Woman's Anatomy
The first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and will be distributed to orthopedic surgeons to use next week. view more (2006-05-11)
Study finds new type of silicone implant offers more natural looking breasts, low complication rate
A new type of silicone breast implant, currently available to women who agree to be part of a clinical study, offers breast augmentation and reconstruction patients more natural looking breasts with a low complication rate. view more (2005-10-18)
Researchers coat titanium with polymer to improve integration of joint replacements
Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology shows that coating a titanium implant with a new biologically inspired material enhances tissue healing, improves bone growth around the implant and strengthens the attachment and integration of the implant to the bone. view more (2008-07-02)
Problem: Implant Infection. Solution: Nanotech Surfaces
Orthopaedic implants help millions of Americans stay active. But these medical devices are prone to infection, forcing patients back to surgery for repair or replacement. Now, for the first time, a team of engineers has shown that zinc or titanium oxide nanosurfaces can reduce the presence of bacteria, a technique that can be applied to implants... view more...

UT Southwestern orthopaedic surgeons first in area
Orthopaedic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medial Center are the first in North Texas to use knee implants specifically designed to fit a woman's anatomy. view more (2006-07-19)
Patients in Merseyside get revolutionary Oxinium Knee
The active, younger population of Liverpool, who suffer from arthritis or chronic injury can now benefit from knee replacement surgery much earlier in life due to the latest implant technology, called Oxinium™, which has recently been made available to everyone in the UK after 11 years of tests. view more (2004-10-18)
