We think a blood test for elevated levels of cobalt, and or chromium are the best ways for any metal on metal hip implant recipient to discover if their hip implant device has failed.

The US Drug Watchdog is calling the US metal on metal hip implant disaster the largest medical device failure in US history, because it involves 500,000 US citizens, and they are convinced there are hundreds of thousands of US citizens who are recipients of a metal-on-metal hip implant that has failed, or will fail prematurely. According to the BBC, European studies are suggesting failure rates of 50% with respect to metal on metal hip implants.

According to the US Drug Watchdog, "Symptoms of a metal-on-metal hip implant failure include pain in the area of the hip implant, loss of flexibility, swelling in the area of the metal-on metal hip implant, loss of mobility, and elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the blood stream of the recipient. We think a blood test for cobalt, and or chromium levels is the best way for a metal on metal hip implant recipient to discover if their hip implant has a failed." http://USDrugWatchdog.com
