## Abstract The rate of bony ingrowth to identical metal implants made of either pure titanium (cpTi), titanium alloy (Ti‐6Al‐4V), or stainless steel 316L (SS) inserted to the medullar canal of the femur in rats was investigated. The kinetics of spontaneous deposition of hydroxyapatite (HA) globule
