   Neutralization
   An implant (plate, external fixator, or nail) which functions by virtue of its stiffness. The stiffness is said to 'neutralize' the effect of the functional load. The implant carries a major part of the functional load and thus diverts loads away from the fracture locus and may serve to protect a more vulnerable element of a fixation complex. An ex...

    Neutralization
    `Neutralization` is a chemical reaction, also called a `water forming reaction`, in which an acid and a base or alkali (soluble base) react and produce a salt and water(H2O). In other words, it can be said that neutralization is the combination of hydrogen ions H+ and hydroxide ions OHâˆ` to form water molecule H2O. In the process, a salt is formed. In the process of neutralization a proton (usually hydrogen) is transferred. An acid is a proton ...
