2. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

   The prosthetic implant used in hip replacement consists of three parts: the acetabular cup, the femoral component, and the articular interface. Options exist for different people and indications. The evidence for a number of newer devices is not very good, including: ceramic-on-ceramic bearings, modular femoral necks, and uncemented monoblock cups.

3. Bioceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioceramic

   A titanium hip prosthesis, with a ceramic head and polyethylene acetabular cup. Ceramics are now commonly used in the medical fields as dental and bone implants. Surgical cermets are used regularly. Joint replacements are commonly coated with bioceramic materials to reduce wear and inflammatory response.

4. Osseointegration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osseointegration

   For osseointegrated dental implants, metallic, ceramic, and polymeric materials have been used, in particular titanium. To be termed osseointegration the connection between the bone and the implant need not be 100%, and the essence of osseointegration derives more from the stability of the fixation than the degree of contact in histologic terms.

5. Titanium biocompatibility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_biocompatibility

   Titanium is used from head to toe in biomedical implants. One can find titanium in neurosurgery, bone conduction hearing aids, false eye implants, spinal fusion cages, pacemakers, toe implants, and shoulder/elbow/hip/knee replacements along with many more.

6. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   The primary use of dental implants is to support dental prosthetics (i.e. false teeth). Modern dental implants, the biologic process where bone fuses tightly to the surface of specific materials such as titanium and some ceramics. The integration of implant and bone can support physical loads for decades without failure.: 103–107
