With the development of medical technology, the medical surgery requires increasingly advanced biomimetic materials. The ideal joint prosthesis should have following properties anti-corrosion, bone ingrowth, anti-infection and same mechanical properties of natural bone. In recent years, nanomaterials in orthopedic applications attracted more and more attention. Nanometer-size materials made ceramics, polyethylene, metals have been tested and verified in orthopedic implants. As the devices made by nanomaterials can mimic the dimensions of constituent components of natural bone, so it could promote adequate osteointegration and enable the prosthesis to be successful for long time. In this paper, we discussed the nanomaterials' ability to promote bone growth, ingrowth and anti-infection of the joint prosthesis.
