Abstract

Metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing hip arthroplasty saw increasing utilization and peaked in the 1990s and early 2000s. Although the linear and volumetric wear rate for a MoM bearings was lower than its polyethylene counterpart, metal ion particles were found to be approximately 10 × smaller and 500 × higher in quantity compared to polyethylene wear debris. Research into these articulations have demonstrated their relationship to the formation of lymphocyte-mediated adverse local tissue reactions. The work-up for metal particle-associated conditions (metallosis) includes a thorough patient history and physical examination, blood laboratory studies for metal ion concentrations, and advanced imaging studies including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The treatment of metallosis and adverse local tissue reactions ranges from close serial observation to extensive debridement and full revision of arthroplasty components, when indicated.

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
