Dislocation is rare in modern larger head metal-onmetal arthroplasty not only because of the increased “jump distance” of the head, but as a result of a suctionfit effect from the fluid-film layer [3]. The lower wear rates of metal-on-metal surfaces were hoped to alleviate torque concerns regarding larger head sizes [4]. There has recently been widespread concern regarding metal-on-metal bearing surfaces, both in the medical literature and in the general media. The most pronounced of the fai...

Metallosis is a type of metal poisoning that can occur as a side effect of joint replacement devices with metal components, such as metal-on-metal hip replacements or other metal implants. These devices are made from a blend of several metals, including chromium, cobalt, nickel, titanium and molybdenum. When the metal parts rub against each other, they release microscopic metal particles into the blood and surrounding tissues. Treating metallosis and related conditions usually requires revision ...
