Abstract

Metal-on-metal (MOM) bearing surfaces in hip arthroplasty have distinct advantages that led to the increase in popularity in North America in the early 2000s. However, with their increased use, concerns such as local cytotoxicity and hypersensitivity reactions leading to soft tissue damage and cystic mass formation (known collectively as adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR)) became apparent. The clinical presentation of ALTR is highly variable. The diagnosis of ALTR in MOM articulations in hip arthroplasty can be challenging and a combination of clinical presentation, physical examination, implant track record, component positioning, serum metal ion levels, cross-sectional imaging, histopathologic analysis, and consideration of alternative diagnoses are essential.

A high percentage of them had evidence of ALTR upon revision. Their conclusion was that with painful THAs with MOM articulations, ALTR should always be considered in the diagnostic algorithm.

J Arthroplasty. 2011;26:511–8. This study screened patients for ALTR, specifically pseudotumors, by US and metal ion levels to analyze not only the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic pseudotumors but also to correlate pseudotumors with elevated metal ion levels. This article showed that ALTR may have higher metal ion levels and that not all ALTR, even large pseudotumors, are symptomatic. CrossRefPubMed
