Current research is describing new ways of applying silver and copper sputters that increase the biocompatibility of materials and help fight or prevent peri-implant infection more effectively. In this paper, we have collected options for the use of coating implants with silver and copper, described in various scientific publications. Also, in this work, we included articles describing new techniques for applying silver and copper to implants. Silver coating of implants has a high antibacterial activity and is actively used in modern traumatology and orthopedics. Keywords: periprosthetic infection, peri-implant infection, silver coating, copper coating, knee replacement.
