[Resorption of bone tissue when titanium fixators are used].

The paper compares different methods of inserting titanium fixatives into the femur. The bone was either unaffected or osteotomized. Clinical, X-ray, morphological, and spectral studies were performed. Experimental findings led to the conclusion that the density of fixative adhesion and delayed load are of great significance for adhesion of canine femoral fragments and for the resistance of osseous wound surface. The cortical bone is more resistant to resorption upon mechanical exposure. When titanium fixatives are used there is metallosis that appear as small traces and fails to significantly affect osseous tissue resorption.
