This dosimetric analysis demonstrates that carbon fiber implants (with similar density to bone) caused virtually no imaging artifacts and minimal dose attenuation which we all know was as opposed to titanium-alloy implants. When intramedullary fixation precedes planned radiation, which it almost always does in the malignant setting, talk to your ortho colleagues about a carbon fiber alternative. | Depauw, Pract Radiat Oncol 2023
