title: Metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty: going, going, gone... - affirms.
abstract: Metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty gained significant   favor in the first decade of the millennium. However, the past several   years have seen increasing reports of failure, pseudotumor and other   adverse reactions. This study presents the results of a single center's   15-year experience with metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty as   strong evidence that metal-on-metal is going, going, gone.
