Cover Story: Carbon fiber implants have been increasingly used in multiple fields within orthopaedic surgery, including spine, trauma, arthroplasty, and oncology. In addition to numerous material benefits such as reduced wear properties, high strength-to-weight ratio, a similar elastic modulus to that of bone, and high biocompatibility, carbon fiber implants are also radiolucent. This facilitates post-operative imaging for tumour surveillance or recurrence, monitoring of bony healing and union, and mapping and delivery of radiation therapy. View this paper
