What Are the Predictors and Prevalence of Pseudotumor and Elevated Metal Ions After Large‐diameter Metal‐on‐metal THA?
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Soft tissue masses, or "pseudotumors," around metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (MoM THA) have been reported frequently; however, their prevalence remains unknown. Several risk factors, including elevated metal ion levels, have been associated with the presence of pseudotumor, although this remains controversial.
QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: The goals of this study were to (1) determine the prevalence of pseudotumors after large-diameter …
