Finding

When the tantalum was implanted in muscle, the smallest dose of diathermy used with machine C resulted in slight incremental damage of questionable significance in all animals. In 1 animal, the same dose of diathermy resulted in evidence of superficial burns. Larger or repeated doses also caused severe burns.
