Does anybody know the grade of steel joint replacements are made of? Also, possibly the value.

I know they are EXPENSIVE when they install them!

Someone owe you an arm and a leg and you want to see what they are worth?

Many replacement joints are a titanium alloy. Dental implants are because it can fuse with bone

Some of the screws are obviously titanium. If it is an alloy of titanium do you possibly know the scrap value?
