Effectiveness of Orthopedic Implants would be a crucial and important topic in development of such medical devices. After creation of the design conception by the orthopedic surgeons, the implants are manufacturing using various types of conventional and state-of-art processes and materials. Immediate, short-term, and long-term interaction of the bone with orthopedic implants would would show the effectiveness of an implant for treatment of its intended use or indication.

Performance of orthopedic implants after implantation into the human bone could be studied through published clinical paper in scientific journals such as Journal of Orthopedic Research. In such articles, a group of patients with similar indication or orthopedic injury are followed up for collection of the clinical outcomes. Study of the clinical literature for a certain treatment solution or implant would be required for development of equivalent device with similar intended use

Technology Literature Study

Study of technology details of orthopedic implants would be graetly required for who would like to start a business for development or manufacturing of this type of medical device. In order to obtaing the practical and usable knowledge, various techncial aspects would be essentailly required to be contemplated. Orthopedic implants are technically challenging to understand. Although, many manufacturers may follow the similar concepts, however, the product developers in this industry would be enthusiastic to improve the functional effectivenss of the current implnats for various types of indications

Biomechanical Evaluation

Mechanical performance of the orthopedic implants in interaction with the bone tissue would be the key factor for biomechanical safety of the implant during implantation period. For fixation implants, such as bone plate and screws, there is no functional standard that address the mechanical evaluation of the implant, while is implanting too the bone and simulating of the fracture pattern. On the other hand, it might not be possible to supply the equivalent devices for comparison of the biomechanical performance. Thus, it is essentially required to provide an effective biomechanical evaluation protocol for assessment of bone-implant construct against of prominent physiological loading condition at the fixation site
