Brief summary
assess results of metal on metal hip replacements carried out at warwick hospital
Detailed description
Resurfacing and XL head hip replacements have not done as well as expected. The ASR implant has been withdrawn. Recent publications and media appearances by Tony Nargol, an orthopaedic surgeon, have suggested 36mm metal on metal replacements. I intend to report the results of this series.
