Here is a little explanation of the topic at the following post.

Consider this, an insider peak inside the Stryde recall.

Thanks for the link doc, very insightful post which has helped put my mind at ease, at least a little! The corrosion being caused by the body interacting with the metal makes sense but what gets me is how, in this day and age, this is the best they can come up with? Surely they must be some workaround to prevent the rust from occurring at all given how expensive these devices are.

My main question would be does the corrosion at the joint reach a point where it stops after a certain amount of time/interaction, or does it simply continue for the entire length of time the nail is inside the bone? Hypothetically, if Azman had kept his nails in for another 6 months would rust continue and potentially increase the risk of possible carcinogenic effects?
