Osseointegration of Orthopaedic Implants

Amirhossein Goharian is a Senior Engineer working in the orthopedic implant industry. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Kashan in 2007, and his completed his Master’s in Mechanical Engineering in Biomechanics at the University Technology Malaysia (UTM) in 2012. He joined the R&D department of LEONIX Sdn. Bhd., Penang, Malaysia, in 2012, rising to Senior R&D Leader in Jan 2015. In 2017, he joined Isfahan Orthopedic Implant Development Co., an orthopedic implant manufacturer in Isfahan, Iran, as the QA-R&D leader until Sep 2020. Since then, he has been developing innovations in the field of orthopedic implants, based on ideas set out in his published work. Goharian has previously published three books with Elsevier, covering trauma plating systems, osseointegration and surface engineering of orthopedic implants.
