  • Abstract:
  • Despite the fact that there is abundant availability of metallic materials, it might be quite difficult to match the expectations of young, energetic individuals after surgery. Revision surgery is necessary when an implant fails for a number of reasons. Aseptic loosening, metallosis, surgical or operational failure due to human or implanting machinery error, infectious failure in the periprosthetic joint due to inadequate hygiene maintenance during or after surgery, poor bone integration, and other mechanical mismatches can all lead to orthopedic implant failure. Young's and bulk modulus mismatches accounted for 18% of implant failures brought on by aseptic loosening. It causes significant bone loss or osteolysis, gradual wear and tear of the high-load bearing joint, stress-shielding effects, debris release that triggers negative cellular reactions, osteoporosis illness, and implant failure. Nearly 20% of implant failures are caused by infection. It causes septic loosening, which impairs implant function and causes discomfort and redness.
