A revision total hip replacement was performed in March 2011, principally because of her systemic symptoms and elevated cobalt and chromium levels. The ASR metal cup and head were removed and the stem retained. Her acetabulum was revised with an all-polyethylene cemented cup and the head was changed to a ceramic one.

Do cobalt and chromium blood metal ion levels normalize ...

Introduction Increased cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) serum levels are one reason for revision surgery in metal on metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. Dual mobility liners are a simple revision option; however, they preserve the metal shell and stem and it is therefore not clear if metal ion levels will fully normalize after revision surgery. Material and methods Between April ...

Gross Trunnion Failure of a Cobalt-Chromium Femoral Head ...

ns and normal levels of serum chromium ions. Gross trunnion failure, apparently caused by corrosion, required femoral stem revision in all of the patients. Conclusion: Decreased neck diameter, longer trunnion length, and large-sized cobalt-chromium heads are possible contributors to early failure after primary total hip arthroplasty due to trunnionosis. Surgeons should be mindful of ...
