An assessment of biomaterials for hip joint replacement
Abstract
Hip replacement is a surgical process where natural hip joints are replaced by artificial hip joint that helps the human being for getting better lifestyle by reduction in the unavoidable pain and better leg movement. The selection of material and durability of the hip joint replacement are serious significance for the implantation, because it determines how load is transferred through the stem. In the selection of materials, various problems related to hip joint replacement are found like adverse tissue reaction, allergic reaction, wear and corrosion resistance etc. To overcome this problem one has to create different new biomaterial. This review gives brief description about the different biomaterial used for hip joint replacement.
