Metal hypersensitivity and metal ion levels in patients with coated or uncoated total knee arthroplasty: a randomised controlled study
Int Orthop. 2013 Oct;37(10):1925-31126 patients who underwent a primary unconstrained total knee arthroplasty participated in this study to determine the effectiveness of an Advance Surface coating on reducing metal ion concentrations in the plasma due to corrosion of the metal implant. Concentrations of cobalt, chromium, molybdenum and nickel were assessed as well as functional outcomes at one year. The results suggested improved function in patients with both implants and no differences in ion concentrations.
