Although metal ion levels alone should not be relied on as the sole parameter to determine revision surgery, cobalt level >2.8 μg/L and the Co/Cr ratio >3.8 are useful clinical diagnostic adjuncts in the systematic clinical evaluation for taper corrosion-related adverse tissue reactions in patients with dual modular taper THA.
