Q

Most biomaterials and medical devices perform satisfactorily in-vivo, so what can go wrong?

A

1) No manmade construct is perfect. All man- factored devices have a failure rate.
2) Also, all humans are different with differing genetics, gender, body chemistries, living environment, and degrees of physical activity.
3) physicians implant or use these devices with varying degrees of skill.
