Implant-derived metals found in cerebrospinal fluid (medicalxpress.com)

Research led by Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin has found that metal particles from artificial joint implants can enter the central nervous system and accumulate in cerebrospinal fluid, raising concerns about potential neurological effects.

Over time, wear and corrosion of these materials can release microscopic particles into surrounding tissue. These byproducts have been linked to problems near the implant site, including inflammation, tissue damage, and loosening of the joint.
