What are the Key Histological Considerations in Prosthetics?
Several key histological considerations are critical in the development of prosthetics:
Biocompatibility: Ensuring that the materials used do not elicit an adverse immune response. Vascularization: Promoting blood vessel growth to support tissue health around the prosthetic. Cell Adhesion: Designing surfaces that support the attachment and growth of cells. Mechanical Properties: Matching the stiffness and elasticity of the prosthetic to the surrounding tissues to avoid stress and damage.
