Patient-reported metal allergy potentially linked with decreased function, mental outcomes after TJR

摘要

“The clinical impact of metal sensitivity and allergic reactions have received increased attention following total hip arthroplasty, and this has largely been due to the recognition of catastrophic, aseptic reactions with large-diameter metal-on-metal bearings, tapered trunnion corrosion and associated with modular neck prostheses,” Denis Nam, MD, recipient of the Orthopaedic Research and Education/Current Concepts of Joint Replacement (CCJR) Clinical Award Paper, said at the CCJR Winter Meeting.
