Metallosis is a rare but very serious medical condition caused by metal toxicity, typically associated with metal-on-metal implants used in joint replacement surgeries. The medical condition occurs when metal particles from the implant enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation, tissue damage, and other health complications.
Several products, including hip and knee implants, dental implants, and pacemaker wires, can cause Metallosis. Some of the products that have been linked with Metallosis include the DePuy ASR hip implant, the Zimmer Durom hip implant, and the Stryker Rejuvenate hip implant.
The symptoms of Metallosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s overall health. Some common symptoms include pain, inflammation, swelling, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms. In severe cases, Metallosis can lead to bone and tissue damage, organ failure, and other life-threatening complications.
