Untainted environment promotes health, but the last few decades experienced steep
upsurge in environmental contaminants posing detrimental physiological impact. The …

Metal ion release from metallic materials, eg metallic alloys and pure metals, implanted into
the human body in dental and orthopedic surgery is becoming a major cause for concern …

Background There are increasing reports of total hip arthroplasty failure subsequent to
modular taper junction corrosion. The surfaces of tapers are machined to have …

This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed at
comparing resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of …

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is an alternative to conventional, stemmed total hip
arthroplasty (THA). The best reported results are young, active patients with good bone stock …

Cobalt (Co) is an essential element with human exposure occurring from the diet,
supplement ingestion, occupational sources, and medical devices. The European Chemical …

Introduction Comparison of mid-to long-term cause of failure and survivorship of metal-on-
metal (MoM) resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) and large head total hip arthroplasty (THA) …

Aims Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is typically indicated for young and active patients.
Due to the longevity of arthroplasty, these patients are likely to undergo revision surgery …

Introduction Short-term results in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with large-diameter metal-on-
metal (MoM) bearings were encouraging, but high failure rates have been reported in the …

Aims We have previously demonstrated raised cobalt and chromium levels in patients with
larger diameter femoral heads, following metal-on-polyethylene uncemented total hip …
