A prospective study of serum and urinary ion levels was undertaken in a triathlete who had undergone a metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip four years previously. The one month study period included the final two weeks of training, the day of the triathlon, and the two weeks immediately post-race. Serum cobalt and chromium levels did not vary significantly throughout this period, including levels recorded on the day after the 11-hour triathlon. Urinary excretion of chromium increased immediately after the race and had returned to pre-race levels six days later. The clinical implications are discussed.

We describe three prostheses with cemented titanium-alloy stems and Al2O3 ceramic femoral heads which had to be revised after a mean period of implantation of 78 months. In each case, the neck of the prosthesis had been so severely worn that the profile was elliptical rather than circular. There was severe metallosis of the periprosthetic tissues. Metal particles isolated from the tissues were approximately one nanometre in size and the ratios of titanium, aluminium and vanadium in the particles were the same as in the original alloy. Histologically, the high concentration of metal particles masked the presence of high-density polyethylene (HDP) debris, but again particles about one nanometre in size were isolated from the tissues. The severe necrobiosis and necrosis noted were consistent with other reports of the presence of extensive wear particles in periprosthetic tissues. Wear is presumed to have occurred as a result of mismatch between the shape or size of the taper cone and the femoral head, or to changes in the geometry of loading due to migration of the cup. To facilitate early intervention, patients with this design of prosthesis should be monitored radiologically.

Cemented Ti-6Al-4V components were used to resurface ten femoral heads in nine young adult patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (average age 32 years; range 20 to 51). There were eight hips at Ficat stage III and two at stage IV. Five hips have maintained satisfactory function for an average period of 11.2 years (10 to 12.2) with no radiographic evidence of component loosening or osteolysis; five have been revised after an average period of 7.8 years (3.3 to 10.3) for pain caused by deterioration of the acetabular cartilage. No component required revision for loosening and the specimens retrieved at revision showed no evidence of osteolysis despite burnishing of the titanium bearing surface and the presence of particulate titanium debris in the tissues.

We present three cases of a previously undescribed condition characterised by unilateral tibia vara associated with an area of focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia in the medial aspect of the proximal tibia. The three children affected were aged 9, 15 and 27 months respectively. Two required tibial osteotomy, but in one the deformity resolved without treatment. The pathogenesis of the focal lesion remains conjectural; the most likely explanation is that the mesenchymal anlage of the tibial metaphysis has, for unknown reasons, developed abnormally at the insertion of the pes anserinus.
