Abstract
- Background: Corrosion of stem-cobalt/chromium (Co/Cr) head interface and subsequent systemic Co ion complication have been a clinical concern after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study is to investigate correlation between type of femoral head and blood Co ion level.<br />Methods: One hundred four patients with THA using accolade TMZF and Co/Cr femoral head (32-mm; 55 cases, 36-mm; 20 cases, dual mobility system (DM) with 22.2 or 28-mm inner head; 29 cases) participated in this study, and blood Co ion concentration test was performed in patients a minimum of four years after THA.<br />Results: DM group was significantly older than 32-mm and 36-mm group (DM: 73.9 ± 4.6, 32-mm: 63.3 ± 8.5, 36-mm: 66.8 ± 10.5). The median (interquartile range) blood Co concentration of each group was 32-mm group 0.26 µg/L (0.69), 36-mm group; 0.21 µg/L (0.30); and DM group 0.21 µg/L (0.13). There was a significant difference of Co concentration between DM and 32-mm group (p = 0.023). Abnormal values of the blood Co concentration (> 1 µg/L) were observed in the 32-mm group; 12 cases (21.8%), 36-mm group; 2 cases (10.0%); and DM group; 0 case (0%) (p = 0.018).<br />Conclusions: Co blood concentration differed among the different sizes of Co/Cr femoral head. THA using DM is a safe option with low risk of complication from cobalt ion if it is used for elderly patients.<br /> (© 2022. The Author(s) under exclusive licence to SICOT aisbl.)
