The titanium rods our company mainly produces are used to repair and support fractures or weakened areas of the femur (thigh bone) during surgery. It is well known that titanium rods play an irreplaceable role in traumatic fracture repair, bone strengthening caused by osteoporosis, bone replacement for bone cancer patients, and hip replacement surgery because of its excellent material properties. So why is titanium so important in bone repair surgery? There are following reasons.
Product advantages
1. Biocompatibility: Titanium is a highly biocompatible material, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection reactions and integrates with human tissues better than other materials.
2. High strength and light weight: Titanium material has high strength but its own weight is very light. In patients who require long-term implantation, the burden on the patient’s body caused by the weight of the material is largely avoided during surgery, and the titanium rod has high strength. It has a very good supporting effect.
3. Corrosion resistance: Among the metals used in the human body, titanium rods have very strong corrosion resistance, which allows the titanium rods to withstand the corrosion of the material itself by human body fluids and blood. Therefore a higher service life can be achieved.
4. Low elastic modulus: The elastic modulus of titanium is low, close to the elastic modulus of human bones, which can effectively reduce the phenomenon of stress shielding (when the implant is harder than the bone, it will bear most of the pressure, causing the bone to withstand Reduced stress. This causes a decrease in bone density, affecting bone health and healing.) Promotes natural bone healing.
Application scenarios
1. Fracture repair: Suitable for femoral fractures caused by trauma, accidents, etc., in order to help the bones maintain their correct position and promote healing. Use titanium rods for support.
2. Hip replacement: In hip replacement surgery, titanium rods are part of the hip prosthesis and are used to replace the damaged femur.
3. Osteoporosis patients: To prevent the risk of fractures in osteoporosis patients, titanium rods are implanted as additional bone support.
4. Bone cancer treatment: In bone cancer treatment, titanium rods can be used to replace the patients’ inoperable bones and help patients achieve a normal life.
surgical procedure
Incision: A small incision is made at the fracture site.
Alignment: aligning broken bone fragments.
Insertion: A titanium rod is inserted into the medullary cavity of the femur and is usually secured with screws or other hardware.
Closure: The incision is sutured and monitored postoperatively.
