“…Women have a greater incidence of congenital hip dislocation than men [10], and hip surgery can occur during childbearing age [44]. However, implantation of metal-on-metal hip devices can increase metal ion serum levels [18,28].…”

“…On the other hand, adjusting for maternal age, ethnicity, parity, and education had limited impact on Shaw et al's results (Shaw et al, 2003). Cui et al (2005) best accounted for potential confounders by conducting a study among opposite-sex twins, but it is difficult to assess how their RRs are different to ours, or the rest of the literature, due to their very small sample size.…”

Familial clustering has also been reported, with an increased likelihood of a child being affected if there is a family history of the condition (2).…”
