Generalized Explanation of why the synthetic parts are needed and how they help



  • ·         Three of the most commonly used synthetic body parts are synthetic spinal disks, synthetic knees, and synthetic hip joints.
  • ·         Synthetic knees are primarily used for the purpose of replacing knees that obstruct ommon functions of the knees and the functions that require the knees to be fully functional.
  • ·         Synthetic knees are necessary whenever osteoarthritis conditions nd cartilage wear out cause deterioration of real knees.
  • ·         Synthetic knees can aid the motion of the leg overall, and they are designed to handle immense weights which usually causes knees to compress and wear out.
  • ·         Synthetic hip joints are highly common in relieving pain caused by arthritis and replacing hip joints that are damaged in traumatic situations or have worn out due to excessive use and reduced levels of cartilage and protection.
  • ·         Synthetic spinal disks are necessary when there are traumatic situations that place pressure on the spine. The spinal disk can go through displacement, be affected by disease, or may be damaged due to trauma.  Injury to the spinal disk can cause problems to movement. Also, the displacement of spinal disks can cause loss of mobility and inability to perform normal every day functions. Injury to the spinal disk may in turn lead to problems with the human nervous system and further body systems.

  1. As I have said earlier, replace the word 'synthetic' with 'artificial'.

    1. You should say 'spinal implants' rather than 'spinal disks'. (BTW: For spine related terms, 'disc' is the correct word and not the 'disc'.)

    2. Please follow the order whatever you set in the first point. For example, you mentioned the 'spinal discs, knees and hips' in the first para and then, you start with 'knee' description first.

    3. You may want to include more specific terms such as disc degeneration, stenosis, spondy, trauma etc.

    4. In the comments for the first blog, I have outlined main objectives of artificial joints. You should take each one of them and research how it applies to the particular implant family. For example, partial hip replacement serves the stabilization function while total hip replacement serves the replacement function etc.

    In general, are you going to put all this language/information in a report format? If yes, typos/grammar deficiencies are OK for the blog. For the final report, we will have review/change the verbiage a bit.

  2. yes, i am going to put this all into a report format. However, i am going to be changing a lot of the wording when it comes time that I start writing the report. I do indeed need to get rid of typos and correct my grammar. Thanks for the information. I will definitely have to change verbiage in the information.

    The idea regarding addition of trauma, spondylosis, degeneration, and other infections and processes is a great idea. I should definitely indulge in searching for such processes which lead to surgery and need for disk implants.
