Sister chromatid exchanges and ion release in patients wearing fracture fixation devices
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
The quantification of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) during mitosis is a useful index for evaluating genotoxic effects in subjects occupationally or incidentally exposed to potentially toxic substances. The authors investigated the hypothesis that ions released by corrosion from prosthetic components of fracture fixation devices are associated with change in SCE incidence. In the present study, ten patients with...
