Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • A wide array of implantable biomaterials exist for diverse medical applications.
  • Existing literature extensively covers biomaterial physical properties and biocompatibility.
  • Economic feasibility of these materials remains an under-explored area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the financial factors associated with first metatarsophalangeal total joint prostheses.
  • To bridge the gap in research regarding the economic aspects of implantable biomaterials.

Main Methods:

  • Financial analysis of implantable biomaterials.
  • Assessment of economic feasibility for specific orthopedic devices.

Main Results:
