Is titanium used for back surgery?

Yes. In a spinal fusion, the spine is fused and held in place with titanium rods and screws.


Why is titanium alloy considered the miracle metal?

It gives more strength for the same weight as either steel or aluminum, or the same strength with less metal. The problem is, it is REALLY expensive. If you were to build a flatbed trailer from titanium and I were to build one from aluminum, and my trailer came out weighing 6000 pounds, you could build a trailer equally as good with 3000 pounds of metal. Your customers would like this because they could send 3000 pounds more freight on your trailer. The problem is, titanium is far more than twice as expensive as aluminum, and it would take you a very long time to get your money back.

Can a computer be left in freezing temperatures in a garage?

Yes, but there is a back up battery for some chips inside the computer. The freezing can cause this chip to die. Make sure you let the computer come back to room temperature before turning it on or the hard drive may break. I would suggest bringing it inside a day before you plan on using it. That will give it time to return to room temperature and for any condensation that formed during the thawing to evaporate.


What is anticipated feedback?

It is the comments or "feedback" you assume will come back from whatever you write on a letter or article. Say you were to write against something, you can anticipate or assume that the comments you get on it would not be as positive as they would be on something for the cause, or vice versa.

If you break a bone can you break it back in place?

You can put the bone back where it should be which would enable healing but no, you cannot break it back into place. That would further damage the bone and cause more pain in the long run. You may however "snap" it back into place which has the ability to sound (and feel) like the bone breaking a second time.
