Orthopedic implants

Types of Orthopedic Implants

Materials Used:

Metal Alloys: Titanium and stainless steel are commonly used due to their strength, durability, and biocompatibility Polyethylene: Used in joint replacements for components like joint sockets. Polyethylene: Used in joint replacements for components like joint sockets.

Joint Replacements:

Hip Replacement: Involves replacing the hip joint with a prosthetic implant. Involves replacing the damaged knee joint with an artificial implant. Knee Replacement: Involves replacing the damaged knee joint with an artificial implant.

Implant Fixation Methods:

Cemented Some implants are fixed in place using bone cement implants rely on the natural bone's ability to grow and adhere to the implant surface UncementedThese implants rely on the natural bone's ability to grow and adhere to the implant surface.

Challenges and Considerations:

Implant Longevity The durability and longevity of implants are crucial considerations, especially for joint replacements. Biocompatibility Implants must be well-tolerated the risk of rejection
