Summary[edit]

| Description |
Degeneration of metal-metal (and occasionally other) prosthetic joints results in erosion of the metal with deposition of tiny metallic fragments in adjacent tissues (upper image). This condition is known as metallosis. Microscopic metal particles may enter lymphatics and be transported to regional lymph nodes as shown in the lower image. They may also enter into blood vessels and be disseminated throughout the body. Buildup of metals can affect the brain, heart, eyes, and other organs.
