In vivo evaluation of edge-loading in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing patients with pseudotumours
Objectives Pseudotumours (abnormal peri-prosthetic soft-tissue reactions) following metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA) have been associated with elevated metal ion levels, suggesting that excessive wear may occur due to edge-loading of these MoM implants. This study aimed to quanti...
