Table 3.

The auxetic structures and their applications in bone implants.

Type of Auxetic Structures Application in Bone Implants Advantages and Disadvantages References
Re-entrant Bone-implant contact; medical screw Good NPR effect; longer fatigue life [22,24]
Chiral Bone scaffold; medical screw High fracture toughness; limited by chirality [24]
Rotating Auxetic materials fabrication; medical screw Better auxetic performance; low stability [24]
