Abstract

Abstract : Multifunctional Metamaterial Implants In article number 2203533, Amir H. Alavi and co‐workers present a new generation of patient‐specific metamaterial orthopedic implants that can detect the bone healing progress. The so‐called "self‐aware implants" can respond to their environment, empower themselves, and self‐monitor their condition. Bench‐top tests are performed using synthetic biomimetic and human cadaver spine models to evaluate the electrical and mechanical performance of the metamaterial implants.
