I wanted to see what practices everyone was doing for the asymptomatic metal on metal hips. The ASR are clear with long term management, but it is more in relation to any MITCH or Birmingham hips. We still seem to see them all yearly with metal ion tests. Most now have had appropriate MRIs and at least every 5 years, X rays.
Does anyone else continue to see them yearly for bloods, even if asymptomatic?
Thanks for your thoughts
