Abstract
Metallurgical and histological examinations of implants and adjacent tissue removed from orthopedic patients have been performed in a series of 190 cases. The results have been correlated with clinical findings where possible. The two major factors to emerge from this study were that many stainless steel implants corrode in the body and that titanium implants release titanium into the local tissue, which may become discolored.
