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 …

The histopathological examination of the periprosthetic soft tissue and bone has contributed
to the identification and description of the morphological features of adverse local tissue …

Background Multiple cases of dissociation of the head from the neck termed as gross
trunnion failure (GTF) in total hip replacement have been described. Very little quantitative …

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) implants are composed of metal components. Although they are
regarded safe, the long-term immunological effects of chronic exposure to the specific …

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings have shown problems of
biocompatibility linked to metal ion release at the local level causing an adverse reaction to …

Many studies of higher-level evidence were published last year related to total hip
arthroplasty (THA). Among them, outcome studies related to implant design, optimizing …

Hip arthroplasty is a common and largely successful surgical procedure, often used for the
treatment of advanced osteoarthritis. Imaging plays a key role in routine postoperative …

Background Pseudotumor formation from metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implants is associated
with implant revision. The relationship between pseudotumor type and patient outcomes is …

Background Megaprostheses contain many more modular components than conventional
total hip and knee arthroplasty, which may lead to higher serum levels of metal ions. The aim …
