Replies to "My husband is having hip revision surgery in March, 2021 due to metal on metal hip..."
My husband just had more labs to indicate levels of cobalt and chromium which are trending higher. He also has a large pocket of inflammation around one hip which indicates metal ions leeching out. Had hips were replaced in 20008 and 2010- they have been great and have allowed him to continue all activities. Now he has joint pain and aches throughout his body; can these all be from metallosis? Best wishes for upcoming surgery!
