Prosthetic hip-associated cobalt toxicity (PHACT) is caused by elevated blood cobalt
concentrations after hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to determine which symptoms …

Local and remote complications can be observed in hip prosthesis failures associated with
metallosis. Structural changes in the periprosthetic bone and soft tissues may not always be …

Aims The aims of this study were to determine if an increasing serum cobalt (Co) and/or
chromium (Cr) concentration is correlated with a decreasing Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Hip …

Abstract Metal-on-metal (MoM) prostheses, in which the bearing surfaces are made of a
metal alloy, may release metal ions upon wear and corrosion, potentially inducing both local …

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 …

Adverse Reaction to Metal Debris (ARMD) is one of the most frequent complications after
Total Hip Replacement (THR) and often a cause of surgical revision. This is true especially …

Background At the turn of the 21st century, there was a re-emergence of metal-on-metal
(MoM) articulation with 35% of all total hip arthroplasty implants having MoM articulation …

Background Surgeons currently have difficulty when managing metal-on-metal hip
arthroplasty (MoMHA) patients with adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD). This stems …

Background: This study aimed to report the long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty
(THA) using a Conserve Plus (Wright Medical, Japan) metal-on-metal (MoM) acetabular …

Background Preliminary results of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty were satisfactory,
but since 2004 data showed high failure rates. National joint replacement registries are multi …
