title: [Bone reaction to metal and bone cement implants at immunologic reaction level in rats (author's transl)].
abstract: After the fact that femoral osteotomy in rats results in destruction of the entire bone (in the majority of experimental animals) due to an immunological reaction by means of Complete Freund's Adjuvant, we have investigated whether or not the implantation of bone cement or Kirschner wires affects additionally the condition of the bone. We have found that bone cement or metallic material within the bone cavity aggravates osteolysis if there is an immunologic reaction present. The conditions of the immunologic mechanism and the applied orthopedic procedures are discussed and an attempt has been made to explain the phenomenon.
