We reviewed the literature to see that a retroperitoneal haematoma is a rare event which can potentially be life-threatening. In our patient the abdominal pain instead of being acute, as it happens on the majority of retroperitoneal haemato...

A number of drug-based anticoagulant approaches are available to modulate this risk, but the optimal length of therapy for such approaches remains unclear. The literature was review...

The patient presented at the age of 7 with osteomyelitis associated with avascular necrosis of the left femoral head. He was treated with subtrochanteric osteotomy to correct limb shortening. Fifty years later, a left total hip replacement was required. This was complicated by persistent low grade infection, resulting in three revisions of the arthroplasty over the subsequent 3-year period. Thi...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery is a rare late complication after total hip arthroplasty
Vascular injury as a delayed complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is rare.

We successfully managed the patient with open repair, and there has been no sign of recurrence in the 2 years since the previous surgery. This report sugge...
