Abstract

Multifunctional Metamaterial Implants In article number 2203533, Amir H. Alavi and co-workers present a new generation of patient-specific metamaterial orthopedic implants that can detect the bone healing progress. The so-called “self-aware implants” can respond to their environment, empower themselves, and self-monitor their condition. Bench-top tests are performed using synthetic biomimetic and human cadaver spine models to evaluate the electrical and mechanical performance of the metamaterial implants.
