  By means of X-ray follow-up and Contact Micro Radiography (CMR), new bone formation around the implants was investigated. And cytopathological observation was performed on the surrounding tissue. Regarding to the implants, microscopic observation was performed on the removed implants surface. Furthermore, metal element analysis was carried out to investigate chromium ion release as a sign of the galvanic corrosion. In order to investigate the in-vivo galvanic corrosion, the plates and screws made of SUS and Ti64 were implanted into the proximal tibia of the rabbits for 52 weeks. The plate and screws were implanted in 4 different combinations of pairing up in different metals and identical metals By means of X-ray follow-up and Contact Micro Radiography (CMR), new bone formation aroun..
