2. For the bone and joint damage caused by trauma and tumour in the human body, titanium and titanium alloys can be used to manufacture artificial joints, bone plates and screws, which are now widely used in clinical practice. Also used in hip joints(including femoral head), knee joints, elbow joints, metacarpophalangeal joints, interphalangeal joints, lower M bones, artificial vertebral bodies(spinal orthoses).pacemaker housings, artificial hearts(heart valves), artificial dental implants, and titanium mesh in cranioplasty and other aspects.

3. The requirements for implant materials can be classified into three aspects: the biocompatibility of the material with the human body, the corrosion resistance of the material in the human environment and the mechanical properties of the material. As a long-term implant material, there are the following seven specific items:

Require:

(1)Biocompatibility;

(2)Superior mechanical properties and fatigue properties;

(3)Corrosion resistance;

(4)Low elastic modulus;

(5)Toughness;

(6)Good wear resistance in the assembly;

(7)So satisfactory price.

4. Surgical implant materials mainly include:

ceramics, polymers,metals,etc. Metal materials include stainless steel, base alloys and titanium base alloys.
