Abstract: Knee and hip replacements offer great relief to number of patients around the world. Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) is a no-oxide ceramic material initially developed for industrial applications operating at extreme conditions and demanding high strength along with fracture resistance. Recently silicon nitride is applied in the field of orthopedic for replacement of hip and knee. This review covers the information and generation of silicon nitride for joint replacement in the field of orthopedic, which will be useful for engineering and biomedical professionals.
