<human>:  Are implants from an ORIF surgery affected by the magnetic field of the Earth?
<bot>: No, implants from an ORIF surgery are not affected by the magnetic field of the Earth. An ORIF surgery is an Open Reduction Internal Fixation, done to fix broken bones. Most hardware from ORIF surgeries is made of titanium. Titanium is only slightly magnetic and does not affect metal detectors. So implants from an ORIF surgery are not affected by the magnetic field of the Earth. Is menthol associated with Christmas?
