How safe are metal-on-metal hip implants?
Hundreds of thousands of patients around the world may have been exposed to toxic substances after being implanted with poorly regulated and potentially dangerous hip devices, a BMJ/ BBC Newsnight investigation reveals this week. Despite the fact that these risks have been known and well documented for decades, patients have been kept in the dark about their participation in what has effectivel...
متن کاملMuscle atrophy and metal-on-metal hip implants
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Muscle atrophy is seen in patients with metal-on-metal (MOM) hip implants, probably because of inflammatory destruction of the musculo-tendon junction. However, like pseudotumors, it is unclear when atrophy occurs and whether it progresses with time. Our objective was to determine whether muscle atrophy associated with MOM hip implants progresses with time. PATIENTS AND...
متن کاملOngoing problems with metal-on-metal hip implants.
Major advances in total hip replacement have occurred since the prosthesis was first developed by Charnley in the 1960s. Yet substantial concerns currently exist over newer hip implants as a result of rising revision rates and increased risk of cancer. By the 1980s revision rates of total hip replacements were as low as 20% after 15 years of follow-up. Throughout this era, the main focus was re...
متن کاملPerivascular and Diffuse Lymphocytic Inflammation are not Specific for Failed Metal-on-metal Hip Implants
BACKGROUND Several studies suggest that histologic findings from tissues obtained at revision arthroplasty for failed metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip implants may reflect an immune reaction to particles or ions in some patients. However, only a limited number of cases without MOM implants were reported as controls in those studies. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study is to better defi...
