Median 10-year whole blood metal ion levels and clinical outcome of ReCap-M2a-Magnum metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty

Median 10-year whole blood metal ion levels and clinical outcome of ReCap-M2a-Magnum metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty

Background and purpose: We have previously reported that the whole blood (WB) chromium (Cr) and cobalt (Co) ion levels decrease in the short term after ReCap-M2a-Magnum large-diameter head (LDH) metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study reports long-term metal ion levels and cli...
