Resumen:
Austenitic stainless steels (specification ASTM F138/139/745 are widely used for load bearing partial and total joint replacements, and post trauma reconstructive surgeries. These biomaterials contain Cr and Ni, which would cause different systemic-toxic reactions during the time that the device is implanted in the body. In particular, Ni is known as allergenic agent and has some carcinogenic potential.
