Cobalt Toxicity Complication of Hip Replacement
2014-9-1 Cobalt poisoning from hip prosthesis is rare but debilitating. It’s caused when the metal wears and introduces cobalt into the bloodstream. This is a known risk with metal-on-metal implants, but newer data are showing that it is also a risk with metal-on-polyethylene implants.

[Cobalt poisoning due to metal-on-metal hip implants]
Abstract. Since 2011, cobalt and chromium blood levels are measured in patients with a metal-on-metal hip implant (MoM prosthesis). In this article we discuss the health risks that are related to chronically elevated blood cobalt concentrations induced by abnormal wear and corrosion of the MoM prosthesis.

Cobalt Toxicity and Other Metal Hip Replacement
2018-11-30 As hip replacements fail and metal flakes enter the body, patients can suffer from cobalt toxicity (elevated cobalt levels). Besides the symptoms associated with other forms of metallosis, cobalt toxicity can cause patients to suffer from fever, inflammation, and low thyroid levels.

Discussion: This is a case of fatal cobalt-induced cardiomyopathy in a patient whose ceramic components of a total hip arthroplasty fractured causing metallosis with worsening cobalt toxicity. We recommend that when a fractured device is revised with a prosthesis with cobalt-chromium components, whole blood and urine cobalt measurements should be obtained and periodically monitored to evaluate for rising

Cobalt Poisoning
The authors called for a larger group study to define the prevalence and spectrum of cobalt poisoning due to hip replacement surgery. Hip replacement patients should be relatively pain-free three months after surgery. Any new pain or increase in pain at that point should be promptly communicated to your surgeon, as it may indicate a complication.

What are symptoms of cobalt poisoning from hip
Artificial hip implants are associated with various risks, from blood clots and infections to loosening or dislocation of the new joint. Metal-on-metal hip implants, in which a metal ball slides against a metal cup to form the hip joint, carry the added, albeit rare and unusual, risk of cobalt and chromium toxicity. Metal-on-metal implants were used extensively for hip replacement for patients ...
