    Notes: Orthopedic appliances of type 316 (SMO) stainless steel were examined in detail after being removed from human subjects. Techniques included conventional microscopy with various lighting methods, together with electron microscope fractography. Corrosion, fatigue failure, and manufacturing defects were identified and statistically tabulated. Corrosion damage occurred on 91% of all multicomponent devices and the overall incidence of fracture failure was 9%. These results indicate an urgent ueed for stronger, more corrosion-resistant implant alloys.

    Notes: Corrosion resistance is particularly important in medical treatments requiring implantation of metallic objects in the human body. Unfortunately, weight loss measurements and other conventional corrosion testing techniques are insufficiently sensitive and difficult to adapt to in vivo environments. The linear polarization technique can be used to remotely meaure the corrosion rates of metals implanted in tissue using needle probes. The principles of this technique are reviewed and the results of tests performed on steel, cobalt, and molybdenum implanted in experimental animals are discussed.

    Notes: Defects were observed on the surfaces of various fine diameter wires commonly used in biomedical applications. These surface irregularities were viewed at high magnifications using a scanning electron microscope which has a much greater depth of field than normal light microscopy. Defects include scratches, pits, and crevices, which are the result of commercial wire drawing practices. Corrosion test results show that imperfections can serve as sites for localized corrosion attack which could lead to premature failures.
