Metal ion levels and lymphocyte counts: ASR hip resurfacing prosthesis vs. standard THA: 2–year results from a randomized study

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Wear particles from metal–on–metal arthroplasties are under suspicion for adverse effects both locally and systemically, and the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System (RHA) has above–average failure rates.
