Summary

162 patient cohort with serial Metal Artefact Reduction Sequence MRI scans. Patients with normal initial scans can be followed up at 1 year. Those with abnormal scans should be followed up at a shorter interval of 6 months.

Introduction

Cross-sectional imaging is a key investigation in the assessment and surveillance of patients with metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty. We present our experience of Metal Artefact Reduction Sequence (MARS) MRI scanning in metal on metal hip arthroplasty. We aimed to investigate the natural history and radiological disease progression from Adverse Reactions to Metallic Debris.
