  2. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

    Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis. [1] Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi/semi (half) replacement.

  3. List of orthopedic implants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_orthopedic_implants

    An orthopedic implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing joint or bone, or to support a damaged bone. [1] The medical implant is mainly fabricated using stainless steel and titanium alloys for strength and the plastic coating that is done on it acts as an artificial cartilage. [2] The biodegradable metals in this category are magnesium-based [3] and iron-based alloys, though ...

  4. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

    Internal fixation is an operation in orthopedics that involves the surgical implementation of implants for the purpose of repairing a bone, a concept that dates to the mid-nineteenth century and was made applicable for routine treatment in the mid-twentieth century. [1] [page needed] An internal fixator may be made of stainless steel, titanium alloy, [2] or cobalt-chrome alloy. [3] or plastics ...

  5. Osseointegration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osseointegration

    Osseointegration is a dynamic process in which characteristics of the implant (i.e. macrogeometry, surface properties, etc.) play a role in modulating molecular and cellular behavior. [14] While osseointegration has been observed using different materials, it is most often used to describe the reaction of bone tissues to titanium, or titanium coated with calcium phosphate derivatives. [15] It ...

  6. Ti-6Al-7Nb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti-6Al-7Nb

    Ti-6Al-7Nb (UNS designation R56700) is an alpha-beta titanium alloy first synthesized in 1977 containing 6% aluminum and 7% niobium. It features high strength and has similar properties as the cytotoxic vanadium containing alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Ti-6Al-7Nb is used as a material for hip prostheses. [ 1 ]

  7. Joint replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_replacement

    Joint replacement is a procedure of orthopedic surgery known also as arthroplasty, in which an arthritic or dysfunctional joint surface is replaced with an orthopedic prosthesis. Joint replacement is considered as a treatment when severe joint pain or dysfunction is not alleviated by less-invasive therapies. Joint replacement surgery is often ...

  8. Dynamic hip screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_hip_screw

    Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of hip fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct. [citation needed] It is the most commonly used implant for extracapsular fractures of the hip, [1] which are common ...

  9. Stress shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_shielding

    Stress shielding. Stress shielding is the reduction in bone density (osteopenia) as a result of removal of typical stress from the bone by an implant (for instance, the femoral component of a hip prosthesis). [1] This is because by Wolff's law, [2] bone in a healthy person or animal remodels in response to the loads it is placed under.
