Abstract

Orthopedic biomaterials are used in replacement of joints or bones that are damaged by a disease such as osteoporosis or fixation of broken bones. Majority of these materials are metals. Non-metallic materials can be separated into three groups as ceramics, polymers and composites. In this study, the types, fundamental properties, advantages and disadvantages of biomaterials used in the production of orthopedic implants are summarized.

Ortopedik implantlarda kullanılan biyomalzemeler

Abstract

Ortopedide biyomalzemeler, travma sonucu kırılan kemiklerin iyileşmesi için sabitleme ya da osteoporoz gibi bir hastalık tarafından hasar gören eklem ya da kemiklerin yerini alması amacıyla kullanılır. Bu malzemelerin çoğunluğunu metaller oluşturmaktadır. Metal olmayan malzemeler ise seramikler, polimerler ve kompozitler olarak üçe ayrılabilir. Bu çalışmada ortopedik implantların üretiminde kullanılan biyomalzemelerin çeşitleri, temel özellikleri, avantaj ve dezavantajları, kullanım alanları ve malzeme seçimine bağlı olarak oluşabilecek sorunlar özetlenmiştir.
