title: [Hip joint endoprosthesis and metal sensitivity. Studies using the leukocyte migration test].
abstract: The Leukocyte-Migration-Test (LMT) is a sensitive method for the proof of metal sensitivity in organism. There were no difference in the sensitivity of chromium, cobalt and/or nickel in 42 patients suffering for coxarthrosis and 41 patients after total hip replacement. We found no connection between metal sensitivity and loosening of artificial hip joints in two groups of patients suffering as well from metal sensitivity as from loosening of the artificial hip joint.
