Tissue reaction to implants of different metals: A study using guide wires in cannulated screws

Cannulated screws, along with guide wires, are typically used for surgical fracture treatment in cancellous bone. Breakage or bending deformation of the guide wire is a clinical concern. Mechanically superior guide wires made of Co-Cr alloys such as MP35N and L605 may reduce the occurrence of mechan...
