BackgroundMassive modular endoprostheses have become a primary means of reconstruction after oncologic resection of a lower extremity tumor. These implants are commonly made with cobalt-chromium alloys that can undergo wear and corrosion, releasing cobalt and chromium ions into the surrounding tissue and blood. However, there are few studies about the blood metal levels in these patients.
