Are Metal Ion Levels Elevated After Dual Mobility Acetabular Systems: Minimum Five-Year Analyses

CONCLUSION: The findings reveal that over a minimum of five years (average = six years; span, five to 10 years), cobalt and chromium concentrations in patients' systems remained within normal limits and were clinically insignificant, irrespective of the follow-up duration, head material, or implant specifications. This underscores the efficacy of dual mobility systems in ensuring minimal metal ion presence.PMID:38547433
