Metal sensitivity in patients treated for tibial fractures with plates of stainless steel.

In three patients a local dermatitis developed 3-3 1/2 months after tibial osteosynthesis with plates and screws of stainless steel 316 L (AO). Two of the patients had a positive patch test for chromium (and cobalt) and one for nickel. Infection was not indicated and it is suggested that the dermatitis was caused by a metallic sensitivity. The skin affection disappeared after removal of the metal.

Export of protein from the osteoclast as studied by electron microscopic autoradiography.

The present electron microscopic autoradiographic study includes a quantitative analysis of osteoclasts in vitro using tritiated leucin as a protein tracer. A significant increase in the grain density over the ruffled border and the underlying resportion zone was demonstrated two hours post pulse whereas the grain density of the remaining cytoplasm was relatively constant. This indicates a transport of newly synthesized protein from the osteoclast to the extracellular resorption zone. Earlier histochemical and biochemical experiments suggest that the exported protein may represent lysosomal enzymes to be used in the extracellular bone degradation.
