Poor Correlation Among Metal Hypersensitivity Testing Modalities and Inferior Patient-Reported Outcomes After Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasties

Poor Correlation Among Metal Hypersensitivity Testing Modalities and Inferior Patient-Reported Outcomes After Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasties

Background: Metal allergy testing may influence clinical decision-making for patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Limited data were found to examine the consistency of available testing modalities. This study compares different metal allergy test results and clinical outcomes after p...
