85 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized to receive either a metal-on-metal bearing or a metal-on-polyethylene prosthesis.

Results indicated that metal-on-metal THA increased chromium and cobalt concentrations which resulted in a correlation in immunological reactions. This was associated with the increase in HLA DR+CD8+ T-cells and a decrease in B-cells.
