Lately, concerns have arisen following the use of large metal-on-metal bearings in hip
replacements owing to reports of catastrophic soft-tissue reactions resulting in implant failure …

Periprosthetic osteolysis caused by wear debris released from the bearing surface of
polyethylene components is the major problem in contemporary hip arthroplasty. Several …

The metal-on-metal bearing couple is having a resurgence in clinical applications seen in
total hip and hip resurfacing technologies. The most noteworthy advantage of a metal-on …

The objective of this workshop was to provide a forum to discuss the reintroduction of metal
on metal bearings for clinical use in total hip arthroplasty. Approximately 100 researchers …

Metalonmetal bearing couples remain a popular option in total hip arthroplasty and are
the only currently available option for surface replacement arthroplasty. In general, the …

Background A number of recent reports have described novel failure mechanisms of metal-
on-metal bearings in total and resurfacing hip arthroplasty. Hip arthroplasties with metal-on …

Larger diameter metal-on-metal (MOM) bearing hips offer the possibility of low wear and
reduced risk of dislocation. We reviewed the first 126 patients (131 hips) who had a large …

There is emerging evidence that many metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings, when used with
large femoral heads in conventional hip replacement and some resurfacing prostheses, are …

INTRODUCTION: There is an ongoing debate about the optimal use of metal-on-metal
(MoM) bearings in total hip replacement, since there are uncertainties about local and …

Early failure associated with adverse reactions to metal debris is an emerging problem after
hip resurfacing but the exact mechanism is unclear. We analysed our entire series of 660 …
