British researchers have found that the clinical success of implants is also determined by the genetics of the patient. At least 10% of individuals of European descent have genetic characteristics that contribute to their immune system attacking the tissue surrounding the cobalt-chromium prosthesis. Remarkably, about 20% of all knee replacement patients complain of chronic discomfort and are dissatisfied with their prosthesis.
The best preventive measure from a material point of view is the hypoallergenic all-ceramic knee prosthesis BPK-S Integration Ceramic, which has been proven to offer high immuno-allergological compatibility. It is a suitable, safe option for patients with an allergy or intolerance to cobalt-chromium alloys.

New study findings published in The Bone & Joint Journal: The metal ion level (cobalt, chromium) in the blood serum of patients treated with BPK-S Integration hinged TKA was significantly lower compared to the GenuX TKA. Ceramic (titanium nitride) coated knee implants showed no improvements and thus no benefit in terms of metal ion concentration. A significant improvement in outcome scores and pain levels was achieved in all groups, regardless of metal ion level.
