Therapeutic Ultrasound and Titanium Clips

[Guest guest]

Our clinic received a referral to perform (therapeutic) Ultrasound over an area

of scarring on a patient who had a panectomy, and titanium clips were used

during (as part of the) surgical closure.

I am seeking documentation which indicates that ultrasound over titanium clips

is safe to perform [i.e. not contraindicated].

Thank you for your help.
