Getting To Know The Signs And Symptoms Of Heavy Metal Toxicity And The Condition Itself

“All hip devices, regardless of the material, create debris as the ball rotates and rubs against the cup-like socket,” the article published last March 3, 2010 by the New York Times mentioned. “But in metal-on-metal hips, either because of poor design or poor implant technique, the ball can sometimes press against the cup’s edge. This creates a chisel-like effect referred to as ‘edge-loading’ that produces large volumes of microscopic metallic particles that can cause havoc in some patients.” This remark is related to reports about some metal-on-metal hip replacement devices such as the ASR hip replacement device and the DePuy Pinnacle Hip Replacement System which allegedly leads to heavy metal toxicity in some recipients. In a new article published recently entitled as New Hip Replacement System May Solve Heavy Metal Toxicity Problem, a metal-on-ceramic hip prostheses released by DePuy that is known as the Pinnacle CoMplete Acetebular Hip System is said to solve the problem about heavy metal toxicity. For those who are not familiar with heavy metal toxicity, let us tackle about this and get to know what are its signs and symptoms.
