Edited by a prominent clinical expert with contributions from materials scientists, manufacturing engineers and multidisciplinary clinical specialists, this volume delivers a robust integration of biomedical engineering principles and clinical practice. It systematically covers the full value chain of tantalum-based medical devices, encompassing raw material preparation, additive manufacturing workflows, surface modification and biocompatibility engineering, mechanical property characterization, preclinical in vivo investigations, clinical translation and long-term clinical follow-up, effectively bridging the disciplinary gap between materials science and clinical practice. The book further addresses fundamental properties of tantalum, key AM processing strategies, regulatory considerations for medical products, and representative clinical applications and case studies. This volume is intended for researchers, clinicians, biomedical engineers, and graduate students in biomaterials, additive manufacturing, and orthopedic implant development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eYajun \u003c\/span\u003eLIU, Chief Physician, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor of Spine Surgery at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Chief Scientist of the National Key Research and Development Program of China, and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (FRCS). He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology, Chairman of the Bone and Soft Tissue Repair Branch of China Medical Equipment Association.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003eHis research focuses on minimally invasive and intelligent spinal surgery, as well as bone and soft tissue repair.
