body's own systems have broken down and are no longer able to provide
the appropriate materials - cartilage on joint surfaces for example - and
that traditional metallic materials such as titanium alloys and stainless steels
provide a level of strength and toughness which are unlikely to be matched
by any new non-metallic materials. The level of engineering skill which is
now being applied to the design and validation of implants is very impressive,
including not only 'hard' skills in mechanics, materials and manufacturing
technology but also 'soft' skills such as the use of sophisticated optimization
methods and pre-clinical testing philosophies. Implant technology has truly
developed as a separate and distinct branch of biomedical engineering.
