Cobalt Intoxication Heart Failure after Revision Total Hip Replacement for Ceramic Head Fracture: A Case Report
In 1960s, toxic heart failure due to cobalt poisoning was firstly reported from Canadian industrial worker. Following development of bearing materials in hip arthroplasties, using cobalt-chrome alloy in bearing surface, there were rarely reported of systemic affect toxic cobaltism include toxic heart failure due to articulation wear in Western countries. It could be happened more easily by thir...
متن کاملFatal Cobalt Cardiomyopathy Following Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty – A Brief Report with Review of Literature
Ceramic bearing surfaces are being increasingly used in young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. However,failures have been reported including fractures even with the newer third generation ceramics. The recommendedtreatment for fracture of ceramic bearing surfaces is complete synovectomy and revision total hip arthroplasty.However, disappointing results have also bee...
متن کاملEffects of Cobalt and Chromium Levels Following Modular Hip Stem Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Due to the increased number of revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) to correct pain secondary to fretting from modular hip stems, this study was conducted in an effort to correlate objective findings of serum cobalt (Co) levels, serum chromium (Cr) levels, and/or reactive tissue seen on metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a patient's need for revis...
متن کاملFatal Cobalt Toxicity after a Non-Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty
This case illustrates the potential for systemic cobalt toxicity in non-metal-on-metal bearings and its potentially devastating consequences. We present a 71-year-old male with grinding sensations in his right hip following ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA). After diagnosing a fractured ceramic liner, the hip prosthesis was revised into a metal-on-polyethylene bearing. At one year...
متن کاملCobalt toxicity after revision to a metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty for fracture of ceramic acetabular component
Cobalt metallosis after revision metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty for catastrophic failure of ceramic components is uncommon but a potentially devastating complication. Common findings associated with heavy metal toxicity include cardiomyopathy, hypothyroidism, skin rashes, visual disturbances, hearing changes, polycythemia, weakness, fatigue, cognitive deterioration, and neuropathy...
