What Plus Orthopedics implant combination should be used if nickel allergy is suspected?
The cementless stems and cups manufactured by Plus Orthoepdics are all made of titanium or a titanium alloy, and are nickel-free. They can all be used in patients who are allergic to nickel. It is important, however, to ensure that only ceramic/polyethylene or ceramic/ceramic pairings are used (and not metal ball heads or metal cup inserts).
