Structural-Geometric Functionalization of the Additively Manufactured Prototype of Biomimetic Multispiked Connecting Ti-Alloy Scaffold for Entirely Noncemented Resurfacing Arthroplasty Endoprostheses

Figure 1

The femoral (a) and the acetabular (b) components of the SLM-manufactured prototype of the THRA endoprosthesis with the MSC-Scaffold. The square frames mark scanned regions of the MSC-Scaffold prototype; the 3D CAD file of the MSC-Scaffold fragment (c) corresponding to the exemplary scanned region on the acetabular component of the prototype of the THRA endoprosthesis, marked with Roman numeral I. The perspective view is marked by the arrow and letter “S₁”; spikes of the MSC-Scaffold (d). The side view is marked by arrow and letter “S₂”.
