The British Society of Doctors for transplanting prosthetic hip joints , Concerned about the high number of marriages among the all-metal implants. Members of the public believe that these implants should no longer be used. Currently in the UK 49,000 people are large Hip Prosthesis Made entirely of metal.
Representatives of the public health system has recently said that to get the data of large-diameter implants, patients should regularly donate blood and go through an MRI scan to check the status Divays. Some time ago, published a study that showed that large Hip Prosthesis with prolonged use, result in the ingress of miniparticles metal into the bloodstream and the surrounding tissue.
And experts from Bristol found abnormal cells in the blood of patients with these endoprosthesis, which can cause the development of tumors. At risk are all the people who were established from a single metal prosthesis with a diameter greater than 36 mm. Prostheses smaller diameter harmless.
According to the president of the British Orthopaedic Association Professor Joe Diaz, about 5, 5% of large metal implants need to be replaced after five years. As for the prosthesis made of metal with plastic, then change over the same period would require only 2% of devices.
