Metallic biomaterials are engineered systems designed to provide internal support
to biological tissues and they are being used largely in joint replacements,
dental implants, orthopaedic fixations and stents. Higher biomaterial usage is
associated with an increased incidence of implant-related complications due to
poor implant integration, inflammation, mechanical instability, necrosis and
infections, and associated prolonged patient care, pain and loss of function. In
this review, we will briefly explore major representatives of metallic
biomaterials along with the key existing and emerging strategies for surface and
bulk modification used to improve biointegration, mechanical strength and
flexibility of biometals, and discuss their compatibility with the concept of 3D
printing.
