Metal concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with arthroplasty implants in situ – do CoCrMo components matter?
Objectives and questions: The NeuroWear pilot study demonstrated that Co, Ti, Nb and Zr released from arthroplasty implants may cross the blood-CNS barriers and significantly accumulate in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It found merely Co levels to be significantly correlated between blood and CSF. We aimed [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
