From: Blood titanium levels in patients with large and sliding titanium implants
Median and range blood or serum titanium levels measured with HR-ICP MS technique. On the x axis: implant type. All implants included are well-functioning implants. Implant types are ranked by median (lower to higher). For each study, dataset from the the longest follow-up time between implantation and blood sample collection was selected for each study. In red: the implants included in this study. MoM—Metal-on-Metal; MoP – Metal-on-Polyethylene; CoM – Ceramic-on-Metal; CoP – Ceramic-on-Polyethylene.
