Titanium and its alloys are generally used.


Why is titanium used in knee replacement surgeries?

Titanium can form a chemical bond with bone, becoming integrated completely. Bone rejects most other elements.


What fuse to the coxal bone?

The coxal bone does not have a single fuse. It consists of three bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis, which fuse together during early development to form the coxal bone.


How is titainium better than steel for hip replacement?

Titanium ( and Titanium alloys) have a number of advantages over steel for use in medical applications, specifically hips. The first is their modulus of elasticity (how flexible they are). Titanium is closer to the flexibility of bone, which helps it share the load with the bone. Steel is stiffer, and takes the load off the bone (so called stress shielding), without this, the bones thinks it is not needed and resorbs (like astronauts). The second, is the biocompatability of the material. Bone can grow right up to titanium, and can bond onto the surface. With steel, the body forms a fibrous capsule round the implant, which makes a weaker interface (and can loosen). However, it can be used with 'bone cement' which acts as a grout between the bone and implant.

Are dental bridges made with titanium safe?

I have seen dental impalnts that are made of steel being put into unwary patients. Typically all dental implants are made of Grade 3 or 4 titanium alloys. Most have gold or titanium of zirconium super structures


Will titanium joint replacements add to body weight?

I have a total elbow replacement and have not noticed any difference. However Yes titanium is heavier then bone. However the amount involved hardly matters.


How do you fix cervical spine dessication?

It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue. I had a MRI diagnosis that said dorsal protrusion of C5-6 disc, effacing the ventral arachnoid space and indenting the cord + bilateral foraminal narrowing leading to compression of exiting root. This is probably a more medical description of dessication or maybe one of the case. But I was advised "surgery" wherein they will remove the herniated disc and replace it with a bone. This bone will be held in place with a titanium plate. The bone will fuse with vertebrae over a period of 1 month and form one bone mass. It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue.

What are the advantages of titanium as an alloy?

Titanium is an element. Titanium alloys are relatively lightweight, yet strong, resilient, resistant to oxidation (doesn't rust tarnish or corrode easily), "bio friendly" (you can treat the surface so that bone can grow right onto the metal). though expensive titanium alloys are very useful in many applications
