Abstract
Although metal ion levels alone should not be relied on as the sole parameter to determine revision surgery, serum cobalt level of >1 ng/mL (1 ppb) and Co/Cr ratio >2 thresholds provide evidence-based practical information for surgeons when interpreting metal ion levels in MoP THA patients for clinically relevant head-neck taper corrosion.
