Conclusion
According to our own experience, ICP-OES is a more convenient method than Atomic Absorption Spectrometry for Ti measurement in tissues. As others, this study demonstrates that titanium is found in the soft tissues in contact with the titanium plates but it is the first time that soluble and non soluble fractions are measured. Our results indicate that almost of Ti is insoluble likely corresponding to metallic particles liberated during the implantation of the plates. Time-dependent leakage of Ti, if exists, seems to be negligible.
