ENGLISH 25 bone growth without subsequent implant removal. • Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) based materials: These ceramic implants promote new bone formation and are gradually replaced by the body’s own bone tissue. 5.2. Smart osteosynthesis systems Smart osteosynthesis systems integrate sensors and wireless communication technologies in the body to monitor the healing process in real time. These systems provide valuable data that can then be used to optimize postoperative care and prevent complications. • Smart screws: These screws are equipped with sensors that can measure the pressure and load on the bone in real time and transmit the data to the physician. • Telemetry plates: These plates are equipped with integrated sensors that collect and wirelessly transmit data on bone healing so that healing progress can be monitored and therapeutic measures can be adapted wherever necessary. • Bioelectronic implants: These implants emit electrical impulses that stimulate the bone growth process while monitoring the healing process. 5.3. Patient-specific osteosynthesis solutions In the field of osteosynthesis, products adapted to the specific anatomy of the patient have become indispensable. These customized solutions improve the fit and stability of the implants and reduce the risk of complications. • 3D printed implants: Based on CT scans, implants can be individually designed and manufactured, enabling a precise fit and better functional results. • Virtual surgical planning: The procedure can be planned virtually in advance using 3D models, which improves both the level of precision and the outcome. • Custom-made plates and screws: These are manufactured individually according to the needs and anatomy of the patient to accelerate healing and reduce postoperative complications. Conclusion The medical technology industry is experiencing significant advances thanks to new technologies such as robotics, 3D printing, and bioresorbable materials. These innovations offer benefits for patient care, even while manufacturers are facing growing challenges such as rising costs, stricter regulations, and strong competition. At the same time, technological developments and
