The Wide Application And Innovation Of Titanium In The Field Of Orthopedics

Titanium, with its unique physical and chemical properties, has shown a wide range of application prospects in the field of orthopedics. In addition to the waveform curved foot riding nails and patella concentrators introduced in the first two issues, titanium also plays an important role in many aspects such as spine orthopedic rods, intramedullary needles, intramedullary nails, pressurized bone plates, and artificial joints.

In terms of spine orthopedics, spine orthopedic rods made of titanium-nickel alloy have become an important tool for the treatment of scoliosis. The biggest feature of this orthopedic stick is its excellent elasticity and resilience. During the operation, the doctor can fix the titanium-nickel alloy rod to each vertebral spine process, so that the force is dispersed and gentle, thereby greatly reducing the risk of fracture. After the operation, the patient does not need to undergo plaster fixation, which reduces the inconvenience and pain in the rehabilitation process. Even more amazing is that when the titanium-nickel alloy rod is heated, its resilience can be used to correct scoliosis to a certain degree of curvature. Due to the limitations of the residual curvature of the spine, the titanium-nickel alloy rod has not completely returned to its original linear shape after correction, so it still continues to produce orthopedic force on the spine, ensuring the stability and durability of the therapeutic effect.

In addition, pressurized bone plates made of nitinol alloy also show their unique advantages in fracture treatment. For severe fractures such as femoral stem fractures, traditional treatment methods are often complicated and have a long recovery period. The use of pressurized bone plates made of nitinol alloy can pressurize and fix the fracture site, simplify the surgical process and improve the therapeutic effect. The design of this pressurized plate allows the fracture site to obtain more stable support during the recovery process, thereby promoting bone healing and recovery.

In summary, the application of titanium in the field of orthopedics is not only extensive but also innovative. From spine orthopedic rods to pressurized bone plates, titanium, with its excellent performance and diverse application methods, provides orthopedic doctors with more efficient, safe and convenient treatment methods, and also brings better treatment results and rehabilitation experience to patients.
