A method for stable integration of titanium-implants in bone tissue has been developed at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Screw shaped implants have been inserted in the temporal bone using a delicate surgical technique. After healing-in of the implants it is, in a later séance, possible to penetrate the skin to establish a reaction-free percutaneous passage. An up to 5-year clinical follow-up has shown the possibilities of this new method in the treatment of patients with e.g. certain hearing disorders or facial defects after tumour surgery.

D019736 Prostheses and Implants Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
