Experiments were undertaken to determine whether hexavalent chromium was released during corrosion of orthopedic implants. Uptake of chromium (Cr) by cells and separation using amberlite resin were the methods used to determine that hexavalent Cr was present. We used salts of chromium as trivalent c
## Abstract 316L Stainless steel is one of the most used metallic material in orthopedical prosthesis, osteosinthesis plates, and cardiovascular stents. One of the main problems this material presents is the nickel and chromium release, specially the Ni ion release that provokes allergy in a high n
