Failure Analysis of some Retrieved Orthopedic Implants Based on Materials Characterization

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to determine causes of failure of orthopedic implants like intramedullary nail based on explants analysis and materials characterization. The clinical performance, corrosion characteristics and metallurgical properties of some retrieved titanium femoral nails have been examined. The macroscopic and the microscopic investigation of explants help us to describe the breaking mechanism and to identify the potential causes that led to implant failure.
