Combining experts from the medical and materials sciences, the
Institute considered current concepts in medical and materials
sciences as they relate to implantable prostheses in orthopedic
surgical practice. The syllabus included theory and applications of
materials properties, physiological function, and host response to
metal and non-metal materials. Total hip prostheses are the most
common orthopedic device implanted today involved in over 200,000
operations. Failures occur at the rate of 10~-40~ at ~ to 10 years.
Failures are due to loosening, infection, fracture of femoral
components, or destruction of the pe 1 vi c components .' All
these, and other problems related to the implantation of the
devices, the surgical procedures, and device pathology, were.
discussed in light of current, as well as, emerging technologies
and scientific knowledge. Repeatedly, scientists designing
prostheses became aware of a lack of understanding of physiological
phenomena associated with biocompatibility; the interchange among
practising physicians, basic scientists, and pathologists at this
Institute was appreciated. We thank all the contributors and
participants for their effort. Thanks are also due to the personnel
of the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO. The daily routines of
running the Institute were greatly facilitated by the efforts of
Pedro Cuevas, M.D, Jose Gutierrez Diaz, M.D, and Dr. Hanita
Kossowsky. The devoted help of Nir Kossovsky, M.D, in setting the
conference and in editing this book, is sincerely appreci ated.
