Coxa Metal-on-Metal research group (CoMeR)
The purpose of CoMeR research group is to provide high-quality scientific research on adverse reactions in metal-on-metal hip replacements, their prevalence, risk factors, pathogenetic mechanism as well as on treatment outcomes and usefulness of screening methods.
Research group leader: Antti Eskelinen
