1) Tissue reactions to spinal implants can include corrosion, wear, and inflammation due to metal debris. Different implant materials like titanium alloys and stainless steel are susceptible to corrosion.
2) Studies of retrieved spinal implants found wear and corrosion at interfaces between components, as well as metal debris in surrounding tissues sometimes causing inflammation.
3) While titanium is generally considered biocompatible, wear particles have been found to induce cytokine release and osteolysis, potentially impairing spinal fusions. Careful consideration of implant material combinations and interfaces is important.

STUDY ON ENHANCEMENT OF OSSEOINTEGRATION OF THE BIO-ACTIVE TITANIUM IMPLANT B...ijbesjournal
We have already reported the in vitro effect of the ultrasound wave stimulation for the hydroxyapatite-like crystalline formation on bioactive pure titanium surface in previous study ( Part I ), which indicate the clinical advantage to accelerate the bone-binding to bioactive material. In this study ( Part II ), animal experiment was performed in order to investigate the effect of ultrasound waving in vivo. Bioactive pure titanium was processed by the chemical treatment and the heat treatment, implanted to the rabbits femur, and undertaken the irradiation of ultrasound waving for planned timeperiods. The titanium specimens taken from sacrificed rabbit was assessed by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), histological observation and mechanical testing. As a result, the bone-bonding condition of titanium sample of the ultrasound waving radiation group was significantly excellent as compared with the non-ultrasound pulse group. These findings supported the result of previous in vitro study and suggested that the ultrasound waving had clinical potential to improve the osteointegration, bone-bonding ability for bioactive titanium implant.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

25. Study Design:
Few histological studies of pedicle screw and rod
systems have been done, and spinal surgery with
pedicle screw and rod system is increasing.
Objectives:
To know the biocompatibility of pedicle screw and rod
systems histologically.
Study design/setting:
Titanium-based alloy pedicle screws were removed
from 20 patients. Histological studies of the tissue
response to the screws were performed by light
microscopy.
26. Photograph showing spinal fusion

Histological areas were divided into four
areas.
Area 1, muscle 1 cm posterior from screw.
Area 2, muscle–screw interface.
Area 3, tissue around the screw–rod joints.
Area 4, bone–screw interface.
27. Conclusions:
Titanium-based alloy pedicle screws produced
some metal debris and caused localized
inflammation.
No adverse tissue reaction was observed around
the screws and rods.
Direct contact without any fibrous tissue formation
at the bone–screw interface was observed in some
patients.
A titanium-based alloy pedicle screw and rod
system is considered biocompatible histologically.

29. Study design:
The current study was undertaken to determine if:
the presence of spinal instrumentation wear
particulate debris deleteriously influences early
osseointegration of posterolateral bone graft
disrupts an established posterolateral fusion mass.
Objectives:
Using an in vivo animal model,
The first phase (basic science) of this study was to
evaluate the effect(s) of titanium wear particulate on
a posterolateral spinal arthrodesis based on
serological, histological and immunocytochemical
analyses.
The second phase (clinical) was to perform the
same analysis of soft tissue surrounding spinal
instrumentation in 12 symptomatic clinical patients.
30. Conclusions:
– Titanium particulate debris introduced at the level
of a spinal arthrodesis elicit:
a cytokinemediated particulate-induced response
favoring:
proinflammatory infiltrates,
increased expression of intracellular TNF-a,
increased osteoclastic activity and
cellular apoptosis.
This is the first basic scientific study and the first clinical
study demonstrating associations of :
spinal instrumentation particulates wear debris
and increased cytokines
and increased osteoclastic activity.
Osteolysis is the number one cause of failure of
orthopedic implants in the appendicular skeleton.

32. Objective
– to clarify the cause of late operative site pain
by the ultrastructural analysis of the
byproducts of metallic corrosion (stainless
steel) as well as the surrounding soft tissues
33. Results
– No signs of infection were present
– Macrophage counts were most abundant
around pedicular screws when compared to:
around the rods
or around the transverse rod connectors
– Particular debris were more abundant around
the rods and transverse connectors
34. Conclusions
– The reaction to particulate metallic debris
from stainless steel implants may be a
probable cause of
Late Operative Site Pain
– There were not findings suggesting the
presence of infection, although the presence
of low-grade infection could not be ruled out
35. Is galvanic corrosion between
titanium alloy and stainless
steel spinal
implants a clinical concern?
Hassan Serhan, PhD, et al, The Spine Journal 4 (2004)
36. BACKGROUND CONTEXT:
– Surgeons are hesitant to mix components
made of differing metal classes for fear of
galvanic corrosion complications.
– However, in vitro studies have failed to show
a significant potential for galvanic corrosion
between titanium and stainless steel, the two
primary metallic alloys used for spinal
implants.
– Galvanic corrosion resulting from metal
mixing has not been described in the literature
for spinal implant systems.
37. METHODS:
– Each construct was immersed in phosphate-
buffered saline (pH 7.4) at 37 C and tested in
cyclic compression.
– The samples were then removed and
analyzed visually for evidence of corrosion.
– In addition, scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry
(EDS) were used to evaluate the extent of
corrosion at the interconnections.
38. Setup of test construct
according to ASTM
F1717 and evidence of
corrosion at implant

Two constructs in this
study consisted of
titanium alloy rods and
pedicle screws with
mixed titanium alloy and
stainless steel rod–
screw connectors and
transverse rod connector
components, as shown
with arrows.

Two constructs in this
study consisted of
stainless steel rods and
pedicle screws with

40. CONCLUSIONS:
– The results from this study indicate that when
loaded dynamically in saline, stainless steel
implant components have a greater
susceptibility to corrosion than titanium.
– Furthermore, the galvanic potential between
the dissimilar metals does not cause a
discernible effect on the corrosion of either.
– Although the mixture of titanium alloy with
stainless steel is not advocated, the results of
this study suggest that galvanic corrosion is
less pronounced in SS-Ti mixed interfaces
than in all stainless steel constructs.

and Tissue Reaction around
Titanium Alloy Spinal Implants
Hee-Dong Kim et al, Asian Spine Journal 2007
45. Study Design:
– A retrospective study of tissue surrounding
titanium alloy spinal implants was performed
using histological and electron microprobe
analysis.
Purpose:
– To identify the metal debris generated by
spinal implants, and then to evaluate the
electron microprobe analysis results and the
histological response of soft tissue
surrounding the spinal implants.
46. Results:
– There were metal particles in the soft tissue in 70% of
the cases.
– Histological finding observed mild chronic
inflammation surrounding the deposition of the metal
particles.
– Scanning electron microscopy of the specimens
showed metallic debris within the tissue and mapping
of the metallic particles revealed the distribution of
titanium in the tissue.
– 90% of patients had successful relief of back pain
after removing the spinal implants.
– Improvement of the back pain may be an association
macrophage response rather than the metal particle.
47. (A) Operative finding shows
local discolorization of the soft
tissues around spinal implant
(Case 2).
(B) Histologic finding reveals
obvious metallosis with black
staining of the tissue.
(C) Scanning electron
microscopy view of specimen
shows the metallic debris within
tissue(×1,000) and mapping of
the metallic particles shows the
distributions of the titanium in
the tissue.
(D) Quantitative analysis of the
metallic debris of specimen was
done with energy dispersive X-
ray spectrometer.
48. (A) Metallic debris was
identified in the dense
connective tissue and the
anti Cotrel-Dubousset 68
positive macrophages
were observed at tissue
adjacent to the metal
particles (Avidin-biotin
complex, ×100).
(B) Macrophages as
stained positive by anti
CD 68 marker (Avidin-
biotin complex, ×200,

49. Conclusions:
– The presence of metallic particles generated
from spinal implants may serve as the
impetus for a late-onset inflammatory
response and late operative site pain.
