The purpose of this study was to compare whole blood metal ion levels in young, active
patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty with the use of a cobalt-alloy (ten patients) …

Abstract Metal-on-metal (MoM) arthroplasty systems became popular in the early-2000s due
to presumed advantages of improved wear characteristics and superior stability. However …

This paper reports the consensus of an international faculty of expert metal-on-metal (MoM)
hip resurfacing surgeons, with a combined experience of over 40,000 cases, on the current …

Steep cup abduction angles with adverse joint loading may increase traditional polyethylene
bearing wear in total hip arthroplasties. However, there have been few reports evaluating …

Abstract The Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) has become one of the most reliable surgical
interventions that has improved the quality of life in many patients. THA allows patients to …

Background and purpose—Large metal-on-metal (MoM) articulations are associated with
metal wear and corrosion, leading to increased metal ion concentrations and unacceptable …

Background Adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD) have been a problem with metal-on-
metal (MoM) hip systems for a decade. Unacceptably high revision rates have been …

Background A relatively high percentage of monoblock metal-on-metal total hip
arthroplasties (THAs) undergo early revision. Revision of these THAs poses challenges …

In a double-blinded randomised controlled trial, 83 patients with primary osteoarthritis of the
hip received either a ceramic-on-metal (CoM) or metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip replacement …

Some early failures of metalonmetal (MoM) hip replacements associated with elevated
wear have caused concerns for the use of this bearing combination. Simulator studies have …
