## Abstract A prospective multicentric study was carried out in patients having metalβonβmetal METASUL components (Sulzer Medica, Winterthur, Switzerland) in order to check the following null hypotheses: H1: The concentration of Co, Cr, Ni, and Mb in blood and urine is not modified by the implant o
The use of metallic heads articulating with metallic cups could solve the problem of polyethylene (PE) wear in total hip replacement (THR) with metal-on-PE bearings. A conspicuous release of metal ions from new models of metal-on-metal bearings has been found in the short-term, but it is yet unclear
Polyethylene (PE) wear has been shown to be a problem in long-term joint replacement using metal-on-PE bearing. The use of metallic heads articulating with metallic cups could solve this problem: success will be enhanced if wear and corrosion of the articulating surfaces are maintained at a low leve
