Titanium is a very strong metal, as strong as steel but it is 45% lighter which means it is very practical for the patient. Also titanium is very non-reactive which means that the normal body fluids wouldn't attack it. On top of that, titanium can take a lot of wear and tear before it finally gets ruined or corrodes which means it is a perfect replacement for a joint, especially a hip joint.
