Neurologic Dysfunction Associated With Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion and Elevated Cobalt Ion Levels After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Adverse local tissue reactions secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the trunnion is a complication of total hip arthroplasty known to cause local soft-tissue damage. However, what is not as well appreciated is that MACC in metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) articulations can lead...
