Google gave a bunch of nothing. Try http://www.ask.com/#subject:ask|pg:1 and type in "artificial joints." I didn't use quotes and got several good hits, such as http://www.utahhipandknee.com/desandmfg.htm and http://news.uns.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/2004/040409.Webster.rosette.html and http://www.engin.umich.edu/class/bme456/artjoint/artjoint.htm as well as http://www.ces.clemson.edu/bio/research/biotri.html

Hi,

For your search try using Hip implant, knee implant etc, not joints. also TKA and THA for surgery techniques (total knee anthroplasty) materials are cobalt chrome, stainless steel, and titanium mostly. UHMWPE for bearing surfaces, some ceramics. You should be overwhelmed at this point.
