  2. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

    Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed Reduction Internal Fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomaterial

    The ambiguity of the term reflects the ongoing development of insights into "how biomaterials interact with the human body" and eventually "how those interactions determine the clinical success of a medical device (such as pacemaker or hip replacement)". Modern medical devices and prostheses are often made of more than one material, so it might ...

  6. Implant failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant_failure

    Implant failure can occur due to the degradation of the material an implant is made of. With time, mechanical degradation, in the form of wear or fatigue, or electrochemical degradation, in the form of corrosion, can occur. Biotoxicity, particularly in metal implants, can arise due to ion release. Bacterial infection
