To answer this question, we would need to know more about the patient. Different metals are used for different patients depending on age, medical history, allergies, etc. Typically they are made of titanium aluminum alloys, tantalum, cobalt or chrome. Again, this is all dependent on the patient that it is being implanted in. If you have specific questions, we suggest that you schedule an appointment to discuss in detail with one of our surgeons.
