metal orthopedic implants
Metal orthopedic implants are medical devices designed to repair, support, or replace damaged or diseased bones and joints. These implants are primarily made of biocompatible metals such as titanium, cobalt, and chromium alloys, which offer strength and durability. The main functions of these implants include restoring joint function, stabilizing fractures, and supporting skeletal structures. Technological features of metal orthopedic implants include their resistance to corrosion, high tensile strength, and ability to integrate with the bone, known as osseointegration. These implants find extensive application in procedures like joint replacements, fracture repairs, and spinal surgeries, improving the quality of life for countless patients.
