Biomechanical evaluation demonstrates bilateral bone compression from hybrid meta-implants, suggesting reduced interface failure and improved bone ingrowth.
Rationally designed meta-implants were found to create compression along both of their contact lines with the surrounding bone, thereby decreasing the chance of bone–implant interface failure (Hoffman's criterion) and wear particle-induced osteolysis, and improving bone ingrowth.
