First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children with metal implants (like plates, screws, or rods) have higher metal levels in their blood and tissues. Researchers want to understand if these metals cause any harm and if removing the implants or using different metals might be better. About 50 children aged 4 to 18 who are scheduled for surgery will take part.
