Abstract excerpt
Joint replacements have been used for over 30 years with considerable success as treatment for bone diseases. As a surgical alternative to metal on metal (MoM) total hip replacement, hip resurfacing was developed using Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr) alloys. However, debris particles are generated by wear at the articulating CoCr surfaces. The nanoparticles and ions produced disseminate throughout the body and interact wit...
