This article provides a comprehensive review of advances in the development of biomaterials for joint replacement prostheses, highlighting their transformative potential in the treatment of joint pathologies. Emerging technologies such as 3D bioprinting and advanced hydrogels are revolutionizing the way joints are replaced, providing personalized solutions that promote better integration with biological tissue. The results discussed demonstrate that these new biomaterials not only offer greater durability and biocompatibility, but also reduce postoperative complications such as rejection and inflammation. However, challenges such as the need to improve vascularization and optimize the bone-cartilage interface remain. Continued research and preclinical studies are essential to overcome these obstacles, ensuring that these innovations are applied safely and effectively in clinical practice. In conclusion, although promising developments have already occurred, the journey towards full clinical implementation of advanced biomaterials continues, with the promise of providing more accessible and effective treatments for patients with joint needs.
