Metal-ions in Patients With the PEEK HD Coupling Mechanism of the Knee

Sponsor: Leiden University Medical Center

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the changes of serum metal ion (Cobalt and Chrome) levels at 0, 3-6, 12, and 24 months postoperative in patients receiving a MUTARS mega-prostheses of the knee with a PEEK HD coupling mechanism. The main question(s) to answer are: • \[what is the change in serum level metal ions (Cobalt and Chrome) in patients receiving a primary MUTARS knee endoprosthesis with the PEEK HD coupling mechanism \] • \[what is the change in serum level metal ions (Cobalt and Chrome) in patients with a MoM coupling mechanism revised to the PEEK HD coupling mechanism\]. Participants will be asked to fill out functional outcome measures during the period under study.
