Core Tip |
Metal hypersensitivity may be a cause of failure for total knee arthroplasty, although a clear correlation between metal sensitization and symptomatic knee after surgery has not been ascertained. Patients with a clear history of metal allergy, must be carefully examined through dermatological and laboratory testing before surgery. However, despite the increase in cutaneous and systemic hypersensitivity reactions to metals, which raise concern about joint arthroplasties, allergies against implant materials remain quite rare and an unexplored issue. |
