Additional information
This paper was the first to highlight problems with a particular design of metal-on-metal hip joint, the DePuy Articular Surface Replacement (ASR), and to propose that wear was the cause, as indicated by metal ion levels in blood. In August 2010 the ASR was withdrawn worldwide by DePuy, at which point almost 100,000 had been implanted, and current revision rates are an unprecedented 44%.
