Summary
Brief summary
Metal ion release is common following total hip arthroplasty, yet postoperative levels have not been defined for most stems currently used in clinical practice.
The Exeter stem is the most commonly used cemented stem in Australia. The aim of this study is to assess metal ion release in the serum of patients with well functioning unilateral Exeter V40 primary total hip arthroplasties one year after surgery.
