PROOFA bstractThe incidence of Metallosis after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing varies, yet may not be as common as feared. Metallosis can also result from metal-on-metal total hip replacement. The reasons patients develop Metallosis are multifactorial, involving the interaction of patient, surgical, and implant factors. Contributing factors may include component mal-position, edge loading, impingement, third-body particles, and sensitivity to cobalt. However, no sin-gle factor or type of implant is responsible.
