Why does your body not attack metal plates and screws after surgeries?
In: Biology
My dad used to work for a company that made medical implants. They spend quite a lot of money and time on research to find metals and alloys that the body won’t attack. Usually they involve titanium, though various types of stainless steel were used before MRI machines became common. You *really* don’t want to go near an MRI machine with a steel hip implant.
