In the mid-19th century, clinics in Berlin began to experiment with ivory implants. In 1890, the surgeon Themistocles Gluck inserted numerous artificial joints made of ivory. If the implant was introduced to the body under
sterile conditions, such operations could be completely successful. Today, however, ivory is no longer used as the danger of rejection is too great.
