Abstract

In the recent past, several studies have been reported on 3D-printed polymer- based partially absorbable smart orthopedic implants. But hitherto little has been reported on metal-based absorbable implants. This study highlights the fabrication and in vitro testing of partially absorbable metallic 3D-printed implants for bovine. The study reports the corrosion analysis performed on 3D-printed 17-4 precipitation hardening stainless steel and thermoplastic composite (polyvinylidene fluoride-hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite) used as smart partially absorbable implant sensor for online health monitoring of bovine (to control the reoccurrence of diaphragmatic hernia).
