Abstract
Background:Systemic cobalt dissemination from the Metasul Co-28Cr-6Mo-0.2C metal-on-metal total hip prosthesis has been demonstrated in the first year after implantation. The aim of this prospective study was to monitor the serum cobalt concentrations in patients during the first five years after toKeywords
