Advances in Stability of Metallic Implants

<p>Metallic implants have attracted a great deal of attention due to their importance in terms of enhancing the quality of human lives and treating human diseases. However their instability in vivo caused by corrosion limited mechanical properties and poor biocompatibility remains a great challenge yet to be solved-which is important because the stability of metallic implants is closely associated with the clinical performance of medical implants. This topic has therefore attracted increasing levels of attention from researchers in recent decades and the great advances have been achieved. In order to provide a platform to communicate the latest findings of researchers to broaden understanding and to deepen insights into advances in the stability of metallic implants we organized a Special Issue focused on this topic and ten articles have to date been published in the journal <em>Metals</em>. With the aim of facilitating reader access and ongoing research we have compiled and published 10 articles from this Special Issue.</p>
