Potential systemic toxicity of metal ions from metal-on-metal hip arthroplasties (MoMHA) is concerning. High blood cobalt (Co) levels have been associated with neurological, cardiac and thyroid dysfunctions. The aim of this research was to investigate the prevalence of systemic Co toxicity in a MoMHA population, to identify confounding factors, and to indicate a Co level above which there is a high risk for systemic toxicity.Background:
