Abstract:
This study aimed to review the improvement of artificial joint materials to search ideal materials for artificial joint. The developing process of metal artificial joint, high polymer artificial joint, ceramic-made artificial joint and compound material artificial joint was introduced and the material surface processing was explored. Selection of materials for artificial joint is determined by many factors. Each material has the specific benefits and drawbacks, so we can improve their performance by certain processing. Although there are many studies about materials for artificial joint, no ideal material is identified. To develop the materials for artificial joint with high mechanical strength, good biocompatibility, strong abradability and long-term service life is the focus in future bone tissue engineering.
