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.

What metal is used for hip joints?
Titanium and cobalt-chromium alloys are commonly used materials for hip joint replacements due to their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and strength. These metals have been found to provide good durability and stability in hip implants.

What type of joints are the hips and the shoulders?
Hip and shoulder are both Ball and Socket Joints
What features of the hip joint are also features of the shoulder joint?
Both joints are enarthrodial (ball and socket joints), but the hip is more stable than the shoulder. This is out of necessity because the hip must support the weight of the body, while the shoulder does not have to. The cup in the hip that the head of the femur sits in is deeper than that of the shoulder holding the head of the humerus. This means less movement for the hip, but more stability.

What proporties of titanium make it particulary useful for making hip joints?
Titanium is biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, durable, and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for hip joint replacements. Its ability to integrate with bone and its low reactivity with bodily fluids also contribute to its success in hip implants.
