Abstract

Bones are involved in many physiological processes like the formation of blood and also act as calcium reserves.  Out of 206 bones in the human body, many major bones get fractured easily due to low bone density, physical injury, or any other reasons. Normally bones get healed on their own by natural processes but sometimes fracture is so complex it does not allow normal healing or formation of bones. Sometimes such complex fractures, if left untreated can result in the loss of bone’s normal functioning. So there arises a need for implants. An orthopedic implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing joint or bone or to support a damaged bone maintaining bone stability until fusion or fracture healing has occurred. The market is full of a plethora of such implants manufactured for bone fractures in different body parts and made of different materials like ceramics, metals, alloys, composites, etc. The present study is an exhaustive review of such implant materials and their advantages over one another. An exhaustive review of literature has been done in this study involving the content of scientific databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, etc.
