I have a contact nickel allergy. Everything I have read seems to indicate that contact nickel allergy rarely causes problems with knee implants. Statistics show less than 0.6 likelyhood.
This allergy is rarely addressed. It is the most common allergy with more than 10% of the general population reacting to niclkel.
My allergist has only seen 1 person in 12 years that had any problems and he couldn't be sure it was knee related. He said he I didn't have a snowballs chance in "you know where" of having problems.
There seem to be only 1 ceramic knee prothesis and it doesn't have a good track record.
I need your thouhts and experiecens.
