Because iron is an element meaning that it only contains iron atoms, pure iron is easily oxidized meaning that oxygen readily reacts with the surface of the iron which causes it to rust. since the iron joint replacement is surrounded by wet tissues would it would rust and flake off which could cause serious problems.

A joint replacement or hip replacement joint made of 100% iron would be unsuitable.

Although iron is a material with just iron atoms, it is rapidly oxidized, which means that oxygen rapidly interacts with the surface of the iron, causing it to rust.

Because the iron joint substitute is accompanied by moist tissues, it is likely to corrode and flake off, posing a major health risk.
