note = "Metal on metal (MOM) bearings were reintroduced as resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) for the younger, more active patient and were later incorporated into total hip arthroplasty (THA). Early results were encouraging. However, recent publications identified adverse tissue responses to metal debris, such that the majority of MOM designs have been abandoned due to the increase in cobalt-chromium (CoCr) debris and associated metal ions.",
