MoM Hip Implant Failure Linked to Manufacturing Variation – Medscape

Read article (log in required) -  David Jevsevar, chair and assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons spokesperson, discusses a new study that found that an "unacceptably high" risk for failure and revision surgery associated with a commonly used metal-on-metal hip implant may be partly attributable to the use of components that were outside of stated manufacturing tolerances. Jevsevar was not involved in the study.
