Allergies to metals as a cause of failure of joint prostheses has historically been a controversial issue. Loosening of a prosthesis may be due to trauma, infection of the surrounding area, or a faulty implantation of the device. However, cases of loosening of the device do occur without any history of the above criteria. This leads one to consider other explanations for this phenomenon, such as sensitivity of the tissues to one of the metals in the implant. The following presentation demonstrates that metal allergies are a surgical concern when considering joint prostheses, or internal fixation.
金属过敏作为关节假体失效的一个原因，在历史上一直是一个有争议的问题。假体松动可能是由于创伤、周围区域感染或假体植入不当。然而，确实存在一些假体松动的病例，并无上述任何情况的病史。这使得人们去考虑对这一现象的其他解释，比如组织对植入物中某种金属的敏感性。以下论述表明，在考虑关节假体或内固定时，金属过敏是一个外科关注的问题。
