Abstract excerpt
Metal ions released from the implant surface are suspected of playing some contributing role in loosening of hip and knee prostheses. previous work in this laboratory demonstrated that sublethal doses of the ionic constituents of Ti-6Al-4V alloy suppressed expression of the osteoblastic phenotype and deposition of a mineralized matrix. The purpose of this work was to further explore this suppression as a function...
