Blood metal ion levels can identify hip replacement patients at low risk of ARMDBlood metal ion levels can effectively identify patients at low risk of adverse reactions after metal on metal hip replacementDate:September 21, 2017Source:Wolters Kluwer HealthSummary:Patients with ‘metal on metal’ artificial hips are at risk of complications caused by adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD). A study confirms that blood metal ion levels specific to the type of hip implant used can help predict patients who are at low risk of ARMD.
