3D-printed titanium hips will last longer with less pain
A mechanical engineering professor at McGill University has designed a new 3D-printed titanium hip replacement that will not only take the place of your aging femur, but can also fool the living bone into working harder for longer. According to the University, Damiano Pasini's femoral stem is printed with a "hollowed-out tetrahedra" design that resembles the porousness of actual bone, rather than dense materials of older hip replacements.
