This article provides an overview of metastable β titanium alloys either being utilized or being considered for use in orthopedic applications. The effects of thermomechanical processing on the mechanical properties (e.g., elastic modulus, tensile, wear and high cycle fatigue performance) of Ti‐15Mo‐0.2O, Ti‐12Mo‐6Zr‐2Fe (TMZF), Ti‐29Nb‐13Ta‐4.6Zr and Ti‐35Nb‐7Zr‐5Ta are reviewed. The osteointegration behavior of Ti‐29Nb‐13Ta‐4.6Zr and Ti‐35Nb‐7Zr‐5Ta‐O alloys is also presented.
