Abstract

Innovations and advances in material engineering and surface engineering play a key role in developing modern, safe, durable, and biocompatible implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “surface coating of implants”. All published articles related to “surface coating of implants” from “Scopus”, were Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery and Biomaterials. The leading organization engaged in the research regarding surface coating of hip implants was the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust of United Kingdom. The most active authors who had made valuable contributions related to the surface coating of implants were De Groot K and Goodman S.B.

Highlights

  • The medical device to replace a missing or damaged biological structure is known as an implant

  • Surface coating by using surface texturing, surface coating, bioactive glass/ bioglass coating, surface texturing, additive manufacturing, and many more technologies are available to enhance the performance of implants by ensuring safety, durability, and corrosion resistance

  • Various types of surface treatments can be conducted on Titanium to improve its competency to be used as a material for bio-implants (Al-Radha et al, 2016)
