State-of-the-art reference information is given for implant materials including stainless steels, cobalt-base alloys, titanium, shape memory alloys, noble metals, ceramics, and polymers. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExamples of materials- and mechanical-based failures of medical devices provide lessons learned in the failure analysis section. Biotribology and implant wear are covered extensively, including clinical wear and biological aspects of implant wear. A detailed look at corrosion includes its effects, corrosion products, mechanically assisted corrosion and corrosion fatigue. Biocompatibility is also discussed at length including biocompatibility of ceramics and polymers. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eEngineers with little exposure to medical and biomedical engineering will find this book particularly useful. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVolume 23 is a replacement for the \u003cem\u003eHandbook of Materials for Medical Devices\u003c\/em\u003e edited by J.R.
