Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum Femoral Knee Implant Damage Correlates With Elevated Periprosthetic Metal Concentrations
We (1) showed elevated periprosthetic tissue metal concentrations in TKA patients and (2) established a positive correlation between damage severity and subsequent metal release. Measured tissue metal concentrations approached the magnitudes reported following metal-on-metal THA.
