Introduction

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of the UK have published guidelines for annual follow up of patients with metal on metal hip replacements following widespread concern regarding metallosis

Methods

We followed up 718 total hip replacements (594 stemmed hips and 124 resurfacing) with metal on metal bearing, implanted between April 1999 and August 2010 in dedicated clinics with clinical and radiological assessment along with assessment of serum metal ions. Survival was calculated using Kaplan Meier analysis.
