Effect of anteversion and inclination angles on metal concentrations. Mean + 2SD of controls is indicated by a horizontal line for synovial fluid (SF) and soft tissue (ST) samples. AO, anteversion optimal; AS, anteversion suboptimal; IO, inclination optimal; IS, inclination suboptimal. For SF and ST: AO/IO n 15, AS/IO n 13, AO/IS n 11, AS/IS n 11; For WB: AO/IO n 19, AS/IO n 15, AO/IS n 13, AS/IS n 13; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
