title = "Novel bone-like porous glass coatings on Al2O3 prosthetic substrates",
abstract = "Over the last two decades, the philosophy behind an optimal fixation of orthopaedic implants progressively evolved towards {"}bone-conservative{"} solutions and, accordingly, the researchers' attention moved from simple mechanical fixation of the prosthesis to host bone by using screws or acrylic cement to new strategies based on a physico-chemical bond (surface modification) in order to minimize bone resection/loss and maximize tissue-implant integration. This research work explores the feasibility of a novel bioceramic single-piece acetabular cup for hip joint prosthesis that can be anchored to the patient's pelvic bone by means of a bone-like trabecular coating (scaffold) able to promote implant osteointegration.",
