A variety of implant materials have been tested and applied to meet a wide variety of medical needs. In recent years titanium alloys and titanium-based alloys have been a focus for the use of biomedical and orthopedic applications due to their superior mechanical behavior and biocompatibility. Various attempts to improve on their properties have been made such as processing changes and surface modifications. This review summaries the existing research that has been made to develop a more effective titanium alloy for biomedical and orthopedic applications.CC BY-NC 4.0Titanium AlloysTitaniumSurface treatmentsBiocompatibilityOrthopedicBiomedicalArticle
