02/01/2012 - "Therefore, for knee replacement cemented CoCrMo prostheses may be suitable also for allergy sufferers if these are masked by ZrN or TiNbN layers. "
08/01/2023 - "The hypothesis of this study was that the use of TiNbN-coated components would not lead to inferior results compared to conventional implants and that none of the metal hypersensitivity patients receiving TiNbN-coated implants would require revision for metal allergy. "
12/01/2015 - "The hypothesis of this study was that the use of TiNbN-coated components would not lead to inferior results compared to conventional implants and that none of the allergic patients receiving TiNbN-coated implants would require revision for metal allergy. "
03/04/2020 - "Although the onset of a PJI is more complex than in an in vitro scenario, these findings suggest that TiNbN-coated orthopedic implants do not increase PJIs risk while ameliorating tribological and surface properties could represent a valid choice to limit possible complications such as metal hypersensitivity."
12/01/2015 - "The use of titanium niobium nitride implants in case of a positive history of metal allergy could avoid this devastating complication. "

12/01/2015 - "The use of titanium niobium nitride-coated implants for primary knee osteoarthritis shows similar clinical and radiological outcomes as conventional TKA without revision for loosening at short- to medium-term follow-up. "
01/01/2021 - "The hypoallergenic titanium niobium nitride mobile-bearing UKA showed comparable results to standard CoCr UKA regardless of the gender, age, BMI, and implant size of metal allergy patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. "

08/01/2023 - "The use of titanium niobium nitride coated implants for primary knee osteoarthritis in self-reported metal hypersensitivity patients shows similar outcomes and survivorship rates as conventional chrome cobalt TKA, with no revisions for allergy at medium-term follow-up."

01/01/2019 - "Though the results did not support the hypothesis that a TiNbN coating/LPB treatment might resist bacterial attachment/biofilm formation more than other alloys, or have less bacteria after cleaning, results did support the potential importance of a daily wound-hygiene regimen at the skin/implant interface of OI materials. "
