Abstract
Particles of wear debris have been implicated in osteolysis around and aseptic loosening of total joint prostheses, but the number and size distribution of particles present in periprosthetic tissues are unknown. A method of particle assay was developed, consisting of nitric-acid digestion oKeywords
