Clinically relevant concentration of cobalt can trigger the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by synovial fibroblasts comments

by Felipe Eltit
Adverse local tissue reactions to hip implants ALTRs are characterized by chronic inflammation, fibrosis and necrosis of the joints soft tissues, generating pain, swelling, increasing the risk of dislocation and failure of the reconstructive surgeries, thus reducing mobility with the subsequent detriment on the quality of life of patients 1 ...
