Titanium Foam Builds Wolverine Bones

Eat your heart out, Wolverine. The X-Men superhero won't be the only one with metal fused into his skeleton if a new titanium foam proves suitable for replacing and strengthening damaged bones.

Bone implants are typically made of solid metal – usually titanium. Though well tolerated by the body, such implants are significantly stiffer than bone.

This means that an implant may end up carrying a far higher load than the bone it is placed next to, according to Peter Quadbeck of the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials Research in Dresden, Germany. In a worst-case scenario, the decrease in stress placed on the bone means it will deteriorate, while the implant loosens and needs to be replaced.

Spongy inspiration

Now Quadbeck and colleagues have created a titanium implant with a foam-like structure, inspired by the spongy nature of bone. The titanium foam does a better job than solid metal when it comes to matching the mechanical properties of bone, such as flexibility, and this encourages more effective bone regrowth.

What's more, the foam is porous, so the bone can grow around and within it, truly integrating the implant with the skeleton.

The titanium foam is made by saturating polyurethane foam with a solution of titanium powder and binding agents. The titanium clings to the polyurethane matrix, which is then vaporised away along with the binding agents. This results in a titanium lattice which is finally heat-treated to harden it.

Though the foam has yet to be approved for use in humans, Quadbeck and colleagues are now working with physicians to explore its suitability for treating certain injuries.

Peter Lee of the Department of Materials at Imperial College London is impressed. He says there are applications where inserting one of these titanium foams "looks like the most promising solution", such as bridging long gaps between broken bones.

Yuyuan Zhao, a materials engineer at the University of Liverpool, UK, adds that "if human bone isn't good enough, an implant could give your body better performance" than leaving bone to heal naturally or using other types of implant.

3rd...4th..5th..time the charm (breaking the same arm)

So over the span of my life I've broken the exact same over and over and over. They seem to get slightly more ridiculous one after the other. First time was being dared to jump to the 8th out of 10 monkey-bars and...lost the dare. Second time I climbed a fence and while half way over I lost my balance and sacked myself and the exact same arm decided it would be a great idea to break my fall.

The third time was when I was at scouts. We were all sitting around in a circle and I had my hands outwards to hold myself up when out of nowhere...a fat kid (estimate age, 9-10, weight guess, 170lb) chugged by and dropped right onto my arm while standing. Not gracefully letting himself down, but his legs gave in and my arm wedged into his butt-crack.

(Ok so here is the most interesting one). So I got dropped off at my friends for a sleepover and right after being dropped off I grab my skateboard and we both headed down to a Pier to hangout. On our way down, we encountered a very long, very steep, very curved out hill (In the shape of a "C"). I told my friend to meet me down there. I jumped onto my board, and started carving down the hill. In my mind I thought carving while going down a monstrosity-like hill would slow me down when in fact made me go Mach 3 speed (sarcasm for going VEERRYY FAST).

Half way down the hill I hit speed-wobble and crash from hitting a patch of rocks. I slide across 12ft of pavement. I didn't understand why I couldn't feel anything to the touch when I looked over at my arm and discovered I had a compound fracture (the ball-joint of the wrist shattered and stuck out from an inch above from where it was at). I called out at my friend up the hill that I wouldn't be able to sleep over. Within 5 minutes of being dropped off, I ruin my day.

When my friend came down he made a joke on the unaccountable times this has been to break my arm. My stomach growled, "Im hungry" i quoted. "Cant wait to have crappy food yet again at the hospital (which turned out to be an eight day stay at the hospital due to infection inside the arm). A few seconds later, what was a quiet fart turned into a loud, 7-second long fart that I definitely felt. Me and my friend were laughing hysterically. "Dude the apartments along the hill are gonna smell that". A woman drove by and stopped beside on the road in her vehicle and I explained to her I needed her to call 911. She gets out, "You don't need an ambulance, I'll get my husband" (who apparently was an industrial first-aider). 5 minutes later he comes out from the apartments from above the hill, "he definitely needs an ambulance", says the husband.

So what I thought was gonna be a great day turned into four months of recovery until I was able to back to wakeboarding and snowboarding. From curling 20-25lb weights I had to start from 2lb weights. Though breaking my arm for the unaccountable time it has been, I sure ripped the hardest fart I would ever have.So over the span of my life I've broken the exact same over and over and over.... more
