ABSTRACT
This paper is intended to provide an overview of the composition, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and clinical applications for titanium alloys that are used for fracture fixation implants. A new class of titanium implant alloys has emerged in recent years that exhibits a beta microstructure and a unique combination of mechanical properties. Important information regarding notch sensitivity testing and clinical significance is also discussed. Attributes such as stress corrosion cracking resistance, fatigue strength, and wear characteristics are also essential for specific clinical applications, but are beyond the scope of this presentation.
