An orthopedic implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing joint or bone or to support a damaged bone.
The medical implant is mainly fabricated using stainless steel and titanium alloys for strength and the plastic coating that is done on it acts as an artificial cartilage. Internal fixation is an operation in orthopedics that involves the surgical implementation of implants for the purpose of repairing a bone.
Among the most common types of medical implants are the pins, rods, screws and plates used to anchor fractured bones while they heal.
