"Asymptomatic" pseudotumors after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty: prevalence and metal ion study.

Symptomatic abnormal periprosthetic soft-tissue reactions ("pseudotumors") have been reported after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA). The aims of this study were (1) to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic pseudotumors after MoMHRA and (2) to measure metal ion level...
