Blood nickel concentrations in patients with stainless-steel hip prostheses.
Nickel concentrations were analyzed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry in serum and whole blood specimens from patients 9 to 15 years after unilateral (N = 11) or bilateral (N = 2) hip arthroplasty. The hip prostheses were of the "Charnley" or "TR-28" (metal-to-plastic) types, fabricated of stainless-steel (14 to 16 percent Ni) with polyethylene acetabular cups. In 12 of the ...
متن کاملCobalt and chromium measurement in patients with metal hip prostheses.
Approximately 1 million metal-on-metal (MoM) hip prostheses have been implanted worldwide to alleviate pain, restore hip function, and improve overall quality of life. These implants contain femoral and acetabular bearing surfaces that are typically composed predominantly of cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr). Although the majority of MoM hip replacements have been successful, multiple recent report...

متن کاملPelvic Incidence in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis
Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of pain and disability that results in considerable social and medical costs. Mechanics such as posture, alignment and orientation of the hips and the spinal column and the relationship between these factors have been implicated in the development of both hip and spine pathologies. This study aims to test the hypothesis if pelvic incidenc...
متن کاملDosimetric considerations for patients with HIP prostheses undergoing pelvic irradiation. Report of the AAPM Radiation Therapy Committee Task Group 63.
This document is the report of a task group of the Radiation Therapy Committee of the AAPM and has been prepared primarily to advise hospital physicists involved in external beam treatment of patients with pelvic malignancies who have high atomic number (Z) hip prostheses. The purpose of the report is to make the radiation oncology community aware of the problems arising from the presence of th...
