Gold Or Silver Knee Replacement: Which Is Best⁉️

Описание: Knee Replacement: What Metals Are Knee Implants Made From? The metals in your #kneereplacement make a significant difference in your recovery + long-term outcomes. Most modern knee replacements incorporate a carefully engineered combination of metals (and medical-grade plastic) to recreate your joint's natural movement while providing durability/biocompatibility.
The femoral component (part that replaces the end of your thighbone) is typically made from cobalt-chromium alloys. These metals have earned their place in #orthopedicsurgery because they're exceptionally durable and demonstrate excellent long-term success rates in clinical studies. For the tibial component (part that resurfaces your shinbone), surgeons may choose either titanium or cobalt-chromium, depending on your specific needs. This component serves as the foundation for a polyethylene plastic spacer that acts as artificial cartilage between the metal parts, allowing smooth movement while minimizing wear #totalkneereplacement
If you have sensitivities to metals, newer options include "gold knee" implants. Despite their name and distinctive golden appearance, these aren't made of actual gold, their titanium niobium nitride (TiNbN) coating is designed to create a protective barrier to reduce metal ion release into surrounding tissues. All knee replacement options today benefit from decades of research and refinement, with impressive long-term outcomes regardless of the specific metals used. Always discuss #kneeimplant options w/ your surgeon to determine which implant system might be best suited for your unique situation, activity level, and medical history.
