What Metal is Being Put in My Body?

By admin | February 23, 2008

For those planning to undergo metal hip replacement, a valid question is put on the table: what metal is being inserted in my body? The answer to that could be Cobalt-chrome or Titanium, it depends on you doctor’s choice. There is no decisive study that could possibly tell you which is better, however; the differences lie in the parts they make. Usually, the socket is made from Titanium and the ball from Cobalt-chrome. Some patients have actually developed allergies towards the socket, and therefore the Cobalt-chrome socket and ball manufacturing advance presented a solution. If you’re more curious about the material and if you think you may have any allergies towards the metal, make sure to contact the manufacturer beforehand.
