## Abstract Titanium and its alloy of 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium are used extensively in orthopedic and dental surgery. However, in conditions of motion leading to wear, there is significant generation of wear products with deposition of black debris in the tissue. The questions remain as to how m

โฆ Synopsis
A study was conducted to determine the ability of hamsters to eliminate in the urine, or store in the organs, large quantities of metal salts given over a period of several months. In addition, the effect of prior immunization on metal ion clearance was determined. The results indicated that nickel was rapidly eliminated in the urine and that the level in the organs was similar to that of control animals. Cobalt was eliminated more slowly than was nickel. The organ levels of cobalt were similar to those of control animals with a slight elevation in the liver of the injected animals. Chromium was eliminated in the urine very slowly, was red cell associated, and the levels were elevated in all the organs (liver, lung, spleen, kidney) compared to control. Prior immunization with metal salts increased the storage of chromium.

In vivo experiments were undertaken to study the transport of metal ions away from the intramuscular (IM) injection site and to study the binding of the metals to blood cells. Hamsters were injected intramuscularly with metal salts or with corrosion products generated by fretting corrosion of 316 LV
