Because iron is an element meaning that it only contains iron atoms, pure iron is easily oxidized meaning that oxygen readily reacts with the surface of the iron which causes it to rust. Therefore, since the iron joint replacement is surrounded by wet tissues would it would rust and flake off which could cause serious problems.
Hope this helped :)

Why wouldn't pure iron be suitable for a hip replacement?
Iron is prone to rusting in the presence of water. If you placed iron in the body, which is mainly water, it would rust and corrode. This means it disintergrates. It would also release dangerous amounts of Iron Oxides into the blood.
How is iron deficiency anemia treated?
A: Iron replacement.
Why is copper used for soldering iron?
Copper is used for soldering iron tips because it has good thermal conductivity, allowing it to quickly transfer heat from the iron to the soldered joint. Additionally, copper is durable and resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for prolonged use in soldering applications.
When iron and copper nitrate react in a single replacement reaction what are the products?
The reaction between iron and copper nitrate in a single replacement reaction would produce iron(II) nitrate and copper metal. The iron would replace the copper in the nitrate compound, resulting in the formation of iron(II) nitrate and copper metal as products.
What is the best way to seal a plumbing vent joint?
That would depend on the piping material, If I was using a DWV copper system I would use a silver bearing alloy or braze the joint, If I was using a cast iron bell and spigot I would use oakum and caulked joint, If it no hub cast Iron then a mission coupling or mechanical joint would be appropriate , if it is a Duram system then pipe joint compound is the way to go or Teflon tape or paste PVC needs to be taken apart and use primer and glue
Why cast iron would not be a suitable material to make car springs?
Although Cast Iron is very useful and is quite tough this also makes it a more brittle form of Iron. As well as having a fairly low Modulus of elasticity (or Young's Modulus), and therefore it does not have the required capabilities that would make it suitable for a car spring
Why is pure iron not good for a hip replacement?
Iron will corrode (rust) in the body for a start. It is also not strong enough, the surface would also wear quickly.
Which metal is more suitable for crafting durable and decorative items: iron or brass?
Brass is more suitable for crafting durable and decorative items compared to iron.
What are the products when iron and copper2 nitrate react in a single replacement reaction?
The products of this single replacement reaction are iron(II) nitrate and copper. The iron displaces the copper in the reaction, resulting in the formation of iron(II) nitrate and elemental copper.
What the single replacement reaction of fe plus C2H3O2?
A single replacement reaction will not occur. In a single replacement reaction, either a metal will replace another metal in a compound, or an anion will replace another anion in a compound. Click on the related link to see the Wikipedia article on single displacement (single replacement).
Which form of iron would be measured by the Phenanthroline Method?
The Phenanthroline Method typically measures ferrous iron (Fe2+) in a sample. This method relies on the formation of a colored complex between ferrous iron and phenanthroline, making it suitable for measuring this particular form of iron in a solution.
Which material, brass or iron, is more suitable for creating durable and decorative home fixtures"?
Brass is more suitable for creating durable and decorative home fixtures compared to iron.
