Silver Nanoparticle (AgNP) Technology applications in trauma and orthopaedics

Recently Nanotechnology advances continue to accelerate with development of incredible new materials and products in the field of science. The Nanotechnology has evolved in the domains of prevention, diagnosis and treatment in the field of trauma and orthopaedics. It provides a spectrum of new tools such as drug delivery (chemotherapy in orthopaedic oncology), diagnosis (bone diseases, osteoporosis, metastatic osteosarcoma), improving osteointegration of implant materials (implants & total joint replacements), combating infection (trauma implants and prosthesis), tissue engineering (hydroxyapatite scaffolds, cartilage defects, stem cell regeneration) and prevention of osteoporosis. The current article highlights the role of Silver Nanoparticle (AgNP) Technology applications in Trauma and Orthopaedics.
