Allergy to endoprostheses

This paper describes a study of hypersensitivity nand tissue reaction to loosened metal implants in 40 patients who underwent repeated hip arthroplasty. Mertal sensitivity was tesed using a standard patch test. Nine patients were positive for chromium, nickel, cobalt, metal rust, endoprosthesis, scrapings or combinations of these allergens. Stainless steel endoprostheses are safe for revised hip arthroplasty and hypersensitivity to metals probably does not play a significant in the loosening of endoprosthesis.
