Background: Failure of metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) bearings is often accompanied by an aggressive local reaction associated with destruction of bone, muscle, and other soft tissues around the hip. Little is known about whether patient-reported physical and mental function following revision THA in MOM patients is compromised by this soft tissue damage, and whether revision of MOM THA is comparable with revision of hard-on-soft bearings such as metal-on-polyethylene (MOP).
Methods: We identified 75 first-time MOM THA revisions and compared them with 104 first-time MOP revisions. Using prospective patient-reported measures via the Veterans RAND-12, we compared Physical Component Score and Mental Component Score function at preoperative baseline and postoperative follow-up between revision MOM THA and revision MOP THA.
Results: Physical Component Score did not vary between the groups preoperatively and at 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Mental Component Score preoperatively and 1 and 3 months postoperatively were lower in patients in the MOM cohort compared with patients with MOP revisions (baseline: 43.7 vs 51.3, P < .001; 1 month: 44.9 vs 53.3, P < .001; 3 months: 46.0 vs 52.3, P = .016). However, by 1 year, MCS scores were not significantly different between the revision cohorts.
Conclusion: Postrevision physical function in revised MOM THA patients does not differ significantly from the outcomes of revised MOP THA. Mental function is markedly lower in MOM patients at baseline and early in the postoperative period, but does not differ from MOP patients at 1 year after revision. This information should be useful to surgeons and physicians facing MOM THA revision.

Background Metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing surfaces have been implicated as a cause of increased complication rates in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with local and systemic reactions identified. These reactions may cause abnormal laboratory results in common tests that are used to diagnose periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of common laboratory studies in the diagnosis of PJI in patients undergoing revision THA with MoM bearings.

Article Synopsis
- Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) from metal-on-metal hip implants is common, but its link to cancer is not well established.
- A 69-year-old woman with a MoM total hip replacement developed synovial sarcoma, leading to a series of surgeries including mass resection and chemotherapy.
- The authors suggest that the sarcoma may have developed due to ALTR, urging surgeons to consider cancer risks when dealing with ALTR in failed MoM hip implants.

The use of metal-on-metal bearing couples in total hip arthroplasty can lead to an increased release of metal ions, particularly cobalt and chromium over time. This can lead to local and systemic metallosis, which has cytotoxic, genotoxic, and immunotoxic effects and can cause a host of secondary disorders. We describe the case of a 37-year-old female patient that was diagnosed with warm-antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (WAIHA) one and a half years after bilateral large-diameter head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.

Background: The aim of our study was to compare implant survival rates of different total hip arthroplasty (THA) bearings in the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association.
Methods: All conventional primary THAs performed between 2005 and 2017 in patients aged more than 55 years who had primary osteoarthritis were studied. Metal-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene (MoXLP), ceramic-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene (CoXLP), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC), and metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings were included.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy in the presence of a metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty is a rare condition that requires close monitoring. A 61-year-old male with bilateral hip osteoarthritis underwent resurfacing hip arthroplasty with MoM articulating surfaces. Prior to his four-year postoperative visit, the patient was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy.
