[Studies on the tolerance of the organism to X 5 CrNiMo 18.10 steel (Königsee). IV. Studies on the tissue surrounding the X 5 CrNiMo 18.10 steel implants by means of an electron x-ray microprobe in the animal experiment].
Electron-x-ray micro-analysis was used for quantitative assess of element concentrations of alien materials in the tissue surrounding implantates of X 5 CrNiMo 18.10-steel. High amounts of iron were found whereas chromium and nickel concentrations were lower in the examined parts of the connective tissue around the metal. These examinations do not exclude that the iron partly comes from destructed erythrocytes. The amounts of chromium and nickel, however, suggest that the deposits of alien materials are sequels of electrolytic corrosion of the X 5 CrNiMo 18.10-steel implantates.
