Orthopedic Surgery using Ceramics

Ceramics are stable compounds of metals with oxygen or other anions. They have been considered for orthopedic implant applications for nearly three decades because of their wear resistance and biochemical inertness. ceramics have not achieved wide acceptance because of their brittleness that carries the risk of unpredictable catastrophic failure in load-bearing applications

Surgery is a procedure that is used to treat diseases and injuries. Orthopaedic surgery is a type of surgery that deals with the bones and joints. It can be performed on children or adults, and it might involve one or more surgical procedures. Surgery can be classified into two types: invasive surgery and non-invasive surgery. Invasive surgeries are those that have to make an incision in the body while non-invasive surgeries do not require an incision to do their work. Orthopaedic surgeons mainly perform invasive surgeries because they need to make an incision in order to operate on the bone or joint. Orthopaedic surgery is a medical specialty which deals with the diagnosis, non-invasive and invasive treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Surgeons who specialize in orthopaedics are called Orthopaedic Surgeons. The orthopaedic surgeon works closely with surgeons and specialists in other fields to ensure that patients get the most appropriate care depending on their condition.
