These are combined with the Porocoat porous coating composed of biocompatible titanium beads. Knee Replacement BEST KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN BENGALURU - PRIMARY , COMPLEX AND ...
Ceramics:Ceramics are a good alternative because of their strength. A titanium cup can be used with a ceramic insert. The movable area between the femoral head and the cup forms what we call friction torque. It is the most fragile part of the prosthesis, particularly in terms of wear. Ther...
InTotal Hip Replacement (THR)surgery, diseased cartilage and bone of the hip joint is surgically replaced with a prosthesis. The prosthesis consists of a ball which is made of metal or ceramic and a metal stem (often titanium), which holds the ball in a precise position. During the surgery...
