Reviews

Author Information

Ilona Swiatkowska is an experienced researcher and editor who received her doctorate from University College London. Her academic work has centred around the local and systemic adverse effects of cobalt, chromium, and titanium in the setting of hip arthroplasty. The project was supervised by Professor Alister Hart of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (Stanmore, United Kingdom), whose research into blood cobalt and chromium levels in recipients of hip replacements directly influenced the current MHRA guidelines concerning the follow-up of patients with metal-on-metal hips. Ilona has published a comprehensive review on titanium as a biomarker of implant wear and defined updated laboratory reference ranges for blood and plasma titanium concentrations associated with well-functioning titanium-based hip implants.
