The potential of Ti-6Al-7Nb, and design for manufacturing considerations in mitigating failure of hip implants in service

The potential of Ti-6Al-7Nb, and design for manufacturing considerations in mitigating failure of hip implants in service

The hip prosthesis, used to repair or recreate the diseased or damaged hip joint's articulation functionality, greatly influences the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Currently, the limited lifespan (10–15 years) of hip prostheses presents a serious challenge stemming from poor material...
