Titanium has a better corrosion resistance than any other metallic material and is highly biocompatible. Process known as metalozis will always occur, meaning that metal ions are being introducet into the human body constantly, in case of titanium on a smaller scale but still.
Many surface treatmments have been developed in order to improve biocompatibility of titanium, techniques of depositing nitrides on Ti or modifications of native oxide film are known. Methods that incorporate polymers or even proteins on the surface in order to engineer surface biochemical properties are being developed as well.
Depending on what you want to achieve and how you define risk of infection, during operation or post, different answers are here possible
