In Denmark 4,456 metal-on-metal (MoM) hip prostheses have been implanted. Evidence demonstrates that some patients develope adverse biological reactions causing failures of MoM hip arthroplasty. Some reactions might be systemic. Failure rates are associated with the type and the design of the MoM hip implant. A Danish surveillance programme has been initiated addressing these problems.
在丹麦，已植入4456个金属对金属（MoM）髋关节假体。有证据表明，一些患者会出现不良生物反应，导致MoM髋关节置换术失败。有些反应可能是全身性的。失败率与MoM髋关节植入物的类型和设计有关。丹麦已启动一项监测计划来解决这些问题。
