    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Orthopedic Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Metallic alloys (iron, cobalt, titanium) are vital for surgical implants due to mechanical properties and biocompatibility.
    • Passive oxide layers ensure chemical inertness in vivo.
    • Historically, mechanical strength and stability were primary considerations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review mechanical-biomechanical and chemical-biochemical properties of metallic biomaterials.
    • To address concerns arising from porous metallic implants for biologic ingrowth.
    • To highlight the impact of design on implant performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on metallic biomaterials.
    • Analysis of mechanical properties (modulus, strength, ductility).

  • Evaluation of chemical-biochemical interactions and biodegradation.

    • Main Results:

    • Porous metallic implants show reduced strength (up to 50% less than nonporous alloys).
    • Increased surface area (3-10x) elevates biocorrosion rates.
    • Release of elements from biodegradation has biologic consequences.

    Conclusions:

    • Design is critical for porous metallic implants to balance ingrowth and mechanical integrity.
    • Understanding biodegradation and elemental release is essential for long-term in vivo stability.
    • Further research needed on the mechanical-biomechanical and chemical-biochemical trade-offs.
