Blood Metal Ion Levels After Hip Resurfacing: A Comparison of 2 Different Implants
BHR patients had higher metal ion levels than ReCap patients at 1-2 and 3-5 y after surgery, though these metal levels are still low and in line with prior studies. Indications for revision differed between patients treated with BHR and ReCap. Surgeons should be aware of these outcomes when counseling patients regarding these metal-on-metal articulations.
