Metal on metal hip arthroplasty outcome ten years study

Background: Patients with metal on metal hip replacements are currently reviewed according to the Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) guidelines. Certain implants such as ASR system have been found to have higher revision rates
than others. We present the results of multiple brands of metal on metal hip replacement implants used at our institution since 2001.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all the records of patients who had metal on metal hip replacements at North Manchester
General Hospital. Their metal ions level (cobalt and chromium) and MRI scans were also looked at.
Results: There were 215 patients. Majority were males (162 patients). 50 patients had resurfacing implants. Most implants used were
Zimmer Durom Hip systems (85 patients). Other brands included Smith & Nephew BHR, Biomet Recap Magnum and DePuy ASR
hip systems. 45 patients (21%) have had revision surgery due to reasons such as raised metal ions level, positive MRI scans or clinical
symptoms. The revision rate in each brand or system was comparable to each other. We have now stopped doing metal on metal hip
replacement surgery. The last surgery was in 2011.
Conclusion: The revision rate is high (21%) in patients with metal on metal hip replacements done at our institution. The lack of
significant difference in revision rates between brands of implants implies metal on metal bearings as a common denominator in
causing metallosis.
Implications: Regardless of brands or hip systems, metal on metal hip replacements have higher revision rates than other types of
hip replacements at our institution.
