2. 1. Evaluation of a metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty

   Author : Henrik Dahlstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: After the introduction of the Metasul system by Weber in 1988, total hip arthroplasty (THA) with metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings became increasingly popular in the 1990s. MoM bearings aimed to reduce the problem of aseptic loosening associated with polyethylene wear particles from conventional polyethylene cups. READ MORE
