What metal is used by surgeons to hold a broken bone in place?
titanium
What fuse to the coxal bone?
The saccrum
What 3 bones fuse to form the coxal bone?
The ilium, ischium, and pubis all fuse to form the coxal bone. The coxal bone is more commonly know as the hip bone.
What is it called when two bones fuse together into a single bone?
Synotosis
Is it possible to fuse bone with metal?
I actually wondered the same thing (because why not replace it with something that wont break next time, right?)....which is why I asked my doctor when I broke my arm a few years back. She laughed at me and then said the muscles would have nothing to attach to which would make your limb (or whatever other bone it is) pretty much useless. You would have a strong bone, or at least a metal rod, in your body but it would be pointless.
What type of metal is used to stabilize a bone fracture?
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 is reason for doing dental implants?
Dental implants are the optimal solution for missing or damaged teeth. Implants are made from titanium and fuse to the bone so you never have to worry about loosing dentures or uncomfortable crowns.

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.
How do i know what each fuse is for ford mondeo titanium 2010?

When two bone fuse together into a single bone the union is called?
suture

How is a joint replacement done?
By sawing off the end of the bone and screwing a titanium replacement into the cut end.
Are dental bridges made with titanium safe?
Yes, dental implants are commonly made of titanium or titanium alloys. Titanium is the most widely used material for dental implants due to its biocompatibility, strength, and ability to fuse with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. This makes titanium implants a reliable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. The titanium used in dental implants is typically commercially pure titanium or a titanium alloy, such as titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V). These materials have proven to be safe and compatible with the human body, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or complications. Titanium implants offer several advantages, including their ability to integrate with the jawbone, providing stability and support for prosthetic teeth. Additionally, titanium's corrosion resistance helps ensure the longevity of the implants.
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.
