## Abstract Metalโonโmetal (MOM) bearings involving cobaltโchromium (CoโCr) alloys in total hip arthroplasties are becoming more and more popular due to their low wear. Consequences of corrosion products of CoโCr alloys are for the most part unclear, and the influence of cobalt and chromium ions on
Metal/metal total hip replacements (M/M THRs) made of CoCr-based alloys were reintroduced in hip arthroplasty in order to avoid the problem of polyethylene wear and consequently to diminish the wear debris-related osteolysis. Emerging concerns accompanying the reintroduction of M/M THRs are related
