A member asked:
Can titanium pins in hip create complications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Titanium: Usually no: titanium as a metal is very close to the modulus of elasticity of bone and is generally well accepted by the body, quite inert. Position in the bone without significant protrusion or intraarticular placement is an important issue.
