Doctors implant orthopedic devices that are well suited for the patient’s body, as most of the devices have to remain in the body for the remaining life of patient.

In orthopedic devices, generally metal alloys are used due to their properties such as rigidity, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance, long fatigue life, stiffness, and biocompatibility. Whereas, polymers are used as articulating surfaces of joint replacements and as a cementing material between implant surfaces and bone. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) implants are generally used for spinal implants as it has advantages such as high mechanical strength.
