Yes, titanium rods and screws used in spinal fusion surgeries can have value, primarily due to the materials used and their application in medical procedures. However, their resale value is often limited because they are typically considered medical waste after surgery and are subject to strict regulations regarding disposal. Additionally, they are custom-fitted to individual patients, which limits their reuse. Overall, while they might hold some scrap metal value, their worth in a medical or resale context is minimal.
