A case series of 35 hip revisions for adverse reactions to metal debris following Cormet hip resurfacing

The primary aim of this study was to analyse our painful metal-on-metal (MoM) hip resurfacing revisions with evidence of 'adverse reactions to metal debris' (ARMD). In our series of 35 revisions the median whole blood Cobalt levels were 58 nmols/l (range 12-1407 nmols/l), and whole blood Chromium levels were 73 nmols/l (range 2-353 nmols/l). Thirty
