Impact of Embedded Military Metal Alloys on Skeletal Physiology in an Animal Model

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if differences exists across measures of bone serum biomarkers, 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.
