The incidence of cancer following total hip replacement
Abstract
We have studied the incidence of tumours at remote sites following total hip replacement: 1,358 individuals have been followed up for 14,286 person-years after operation. In the decade following implantation the incidence of tumours of the lymphatic and haemopoietic systems was significantly greater, and that of cancer of the breast, colon, and rectum, significantly less than expected. Whilst the association might be due in part to an effect of the prosthetic implants, other mechanisms, particularly drug therapy, require consideration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
