Development of a facile fluorophosphonate-functionalised titanium surface for potential orthopaedic applications (2020)
Journal Article
Shiel, A. I., Ayre, W. N., Blom, A. W., Hallam, K. R., Heard, P. J., Payton, O., …Mansell, J. P. (2020). Development of a facile fluorophosphonate-functionalised titanium surface for potential orthopaedic applications. Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 23, 140-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jot.2020.02.002

Background: Aseptic loosening of total joint replacements (TJRs) continues to be the main cause of implant failures. The socioeconomic impact of surgical revisions is hugely significant; in the United Kingdom alone, it is estimated that £137 m is spe...
