    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_replacement

    Materials. Some ceramic materials commonly used in joint replacement are alumina (Al 2 O 3), zirconia (ZrO 2), silica (SiO 2), hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2), titanium nitride (TiN), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4). A combination of titanium and titanium carbide is a very hard ceramic material often used in components of arthroplasties due ...

  3. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

    Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis. Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi/semi (half) replacement. Such joint replacement orthopaedic surgery is generally conducted to relieve arthritis pain or in some hip fractures.

    Vitallium is an alloy of 65% cobalt, 30% chromium, 5% molybdenum, and other substances. The alloy is used in dentistry and artificial joints, because of its resistance to corrosion. It is also used for components of turbochargers because of its thermal resistance. [citation needed]

  7. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

    Internal fixation refers to fixation of screws and/or plates, intramedullary rods and other devices to enable or facilitate healing. Rigid fixation prevents micro-motion across lines of fracture to enable healing and prevent infection, which happens when implants such as plates (e.g. dynamic compression plate) are used.
