Frequently Asked Questions:
When you check into a hospital for a medical procedure, you’re operating under the general premise that you’ll receive top notch care or, at the very least, you’ll come out feeling better than you did when you walked in. Unfortunately that isn’t always the case.
Hip replacement systems are designed to prevent the grinding and wear-and-tear that is typically found in metal-on-metal hip replacements. Metal-on-metal hip replacements are relatively common, because they’re durable and were thought to be long-lasting.
One of the problems with metal-on-metal hip replacements is that after significant wear and tear, they can release metal ions into the bloodstream. Conclusive research hasn’t been done to determine if the metal particles that are released into the bloodstream are always harmful.
Metallosis is a medical condition that is caused by a buildup of metal particles and debris in the body's soft tissues. Metallosis can cause pain, inflammation, and damage to the body tissue that can loosen or damage the hip implant. Not only does the condition cause considerable pain for the patient, it can create the need for a hip replacement revision surgery or second hip replacement surgery. Women, individuals who stand small in stature, and those struggling with obesity are all more likely to suffer from metallosis. Each of these groups is built in such a way that places high levels of tension upon impact, which can cause wear and tear on joints more rapidly. In turn, the deterioration of a metal joint happens much faster in these populations, which accelerates the metallic buildup responsible for metallosis.
Even without deterioration of the metal components of a hip replacement system, some metal-on-metal hip replacement systems were beginning to show heightened levels of both chromium and cobalt on the blood tests of hip replacement patients.
