Publication Date 2017
Page Count 17
Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine if differences exists across measures of bone serum nickel, computed tomography, biomechanical testing and histomorphometry in bone of skeletally mature rats embedded with tungsten/nickel/cobal (WNiCo), tungsten/nickel/iron (WNiFe) and depleted uranium (DU) compared to Tantalum (Ta) control.
