Metallic biomaterials, especially advances in various biodegradable metallic materials and porous or open-cellular metallic materials having important applications as orthopaedic and other biomedical implants or appliances, have become the focus of many research groups world- wide. This Special Issue themed on ＂Advances in Metallic Biomaterials＂ presents not only a representative segment of eminent researchers in areas related to metallic bio- materials, but also leading edge innovations. Papers in- cluded in this Special Issue represent novel and advanced biomaterials research as well as reviews and overviews of critical developments and emerging technologies invol- ving biomedical materials. Topics covered include basic research and applications involving biomaterials proces- sing and fabrication, biomedical and biomechanical properties of novel implant materials, in-vitro and in-vivo studies or performance issues, clinical trials, and strate- gies for rendering porous structures functional, living scaffolds.
