Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized medical applications, but the challenge of matching mechanical performance machined parts remains. Recent advancements in AM have pushed boundaries, yet challenges persist. 3D-printed exhibit lower tensile and flexural strength, coupled with inferior fracture toughness higher microhardness, attributed to inherent anisotropy. This review explores potential poly-aryl-ether-ketone (PAEK) materials, especially polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites, address these concerns. The paper highlights necessity thoroughly exploring tribological behaviour PAEKs load-bearing orthopaedic applications clinically representative configurations, allowing for further investigation into long-term viability materials. evaluates surface modification approaches enhancing biocompatibility, osseointegration, PEEK implants. Incorporating hydroxyapatite (HAp) matrix shows promise, optimal HAp percentages vary. Optimizing pore size coating composition within composites must balance properties bioactivity. To guide future research, outlines critical directions. These include investigating techniques bioactive additives, optimizing shape scaffolds, in-depth studies on biocompatibility osseointegration under dynamic conditions. holds significant transforming a particular focus its derivatives, collectively known as Advances precision paved way successful 3D printing high-performance thermoplastics like PEEK, offering new prospects applications. systematic comprehensively assesses recent scientific literature concerning tribo-mechanical bioactivity additively manufactured PAEK specific emphasis uses. Despite substantial research metallic biomaterials, knowledge gaps persist regarding processing parameters, structure-property relationships, biological behaviours, implantation suitability PAEKs. bridges by analysing existing providing valuable insights their Key aspects explored conditions, strength limitations, outcomes in-vitro in-vivo evaluations. Through this review, we consolidate current knowledge, delivering essential information researchers, clinicians, manufacturers involved advancing materials
