Jaw surgery; tetanium v normal titanium

(1/3) > >>

meo66:
Some info needed on high tensile tetanium v normal titanium for my double jaw genioplasty.which is best?thank you

GJ:
I doubt anyone here knows that. What does the surgeon recommend?

I'd personally go with normal because they're time tested, and in my mind at least, high tensile strength probably has almost zero flex whereas the bone around it (soft) does have flex. I'd go with a material more matched. But gain, that's just theoretical and in my mind (i.e. common sense). I could be totally wrong.

kavan:
Could you tell us more about WHY or even IF the surgeon offered that as a choice for you. Different types of titanium are used for different types of needs.  MEDICAL GRADE titanium is used in surgical applications. But I won't go on about different types of titanium (many used for INDUSTRIAL) in the absence of establishing whether or not the doctor actually offered such a choice.

meo66:
I have attached the file of options. thanks again

GJ:
Why not just ask the surgeon which you should get and why you should get them?
