replace anatomical element(s) of the human body.
• In orthopaedics are commonly called implants; these are manufactured for a great
number of orthopaedics applications
Interaction with human body
• Clinical results in orthopaedics have demonstrated that a great need exists to find
new and better biomaterials that will help satisfy the minimum requirements for
orthopaedics devices
• There are main fundamental requirements that orthopaedics devices must fulfil in
order to function adequately
