Imaging and speciation of intracellular metallic implant debris using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence micro-spectroscopy: a study of two cases

Abstract Debris generated from total hip arthroplasty (THA) components made from metal alloys can cause, in some cases, inflammatory cell (e.g., macrophages) responses that lead to adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) and implant failure. The lack of information on intracellular chemical alteration...
