 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Application of biological material progress in orthopedics Biological material means “to health care for the purpose of, for and living tissue to form a functional contact with non-living material,” including biocompatible materials. Biomaterials in orthopedic applications is divided into according to their nature, medical metal materials, medical polymer materials and inorganic non-metallic materials such as medical, now on its application are summarized below. 1 Medical Metallic Materials Bio-metal material is a bone to implant the human body, treatment of bone disease, bone replacement and restore normal physiological function of the skeleton of a biologically inert material, because of its high strength and toughness of metallic materials is the application of orthopedic most implant materials, widely used in orthopedic treatment of various diseases, the metal implant material as a general requirement is: have enough mechanical strength and fatigue resistance, has excellent corrosion resistance, non-magnetic , material must be non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and allergic reactions, should have a good finish [1]. now commonly used in clinical medical biological materials, including metal medical stainless steel, cobalt-based alloys, Medical shape memory alloy. 1.1 Medical Stainless Steel: According to clinical on hardness, toughness requirements of a variety of medical stainless steel materials, the best type 316L stainless steel alloy that has been widely used as an equipment material. Has good mechanical properties, easy processing and the price cheap, but compared with the cobalt-based alloys have a greater sensitivity to localized corrosion [2], mainly for bone plate, bone screws, artificial joints. 1.2 Alloy: cobalt-based alloy including: Co-based alloys have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for long-term harsh conditions used in carrying the body of the implant, is the biomed
