Abstract

Metal implants are increasingly important in many medical fields, including orthopedic surgery, dentistry, and ophthalmology. Their use is almost part of daily life. Metal implant allergy is a rare but important-diagnosis of exclusion. The clinical pictures encompass both cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations. The diagnostic work-up is done in several steps by integrating patient history, clinical picture, and results of medical examinations, which requires interdisciplinary cooperation. In case of confirmed implant allergy, alternative materials are available. Their application may lead to complete disappearance of symptoms in the affected patients.
