Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Madam, Thank you for posting your query on HCM. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it is quite uncommon to have reaction to titanium implants , only case reports are there regarding this . Generally people get allergy when there is corrossion of titanium and that occurs in dental implants mostly rather than knee ones . Titanium is used in implants because it is biocompatible . So it is very unlikely for you to have a reaction from titanium and that too in knee implants . Take care. Dr. Shruti
