Abstract

Use of large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing surfaces in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has created new and unique modes of failure for this type of articulation. These unique modes are in addition to the traditional modes of failure seen in conventional THA, which include instability, osteolysis, infection, iliopsoas tendinitis, aseptic loosening, and periprosthetic fracture. Ion levels and cross-sectional imaging are helpful when evaluating a MoM patient in the identification of adverse local tissue reactions. Unique modes of failure in MoM THA include tissue necrosis, metallosis-induced osteolysis, skin hypersensitivity reactions, and rarely systemic cobaltism. This article outlines the evaluation and treatment of modes of failure in MoM THA.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
