Implant migration following orthopaedic surgeries is one of the primary reasons for clinical complications such as loosening and implant failure. Therefore, improving implant fixation is critical to ensure the success of these procedures and thus, enhance patient outcomes. This can be achieved through novel implant design, materials development, and/or surgical technique optimization. Although recent technological innovations (e.g., 3D printing and surface modification) have the potential to improve implant fixation and hence outcomes, these innovations and others pivotal for improving stability of orthopaedic implants remain to be thoroughly evaluated. This special issue aims to provide the current status and new findings on research related to fixation and stability of orthopaedic implants.
