Early Periprosthetic Metastasis Following Total Hip Replacement in a Patient With Breast Carcinoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED Early periprosthetic osteolysis following total hip replacement (THR) as a result of septic etiology has been well understood. Periprosthetic bone loss as a result of metastatic infiltration is an uncommon and infrequent cause of early, progressive loosening of joint replacement prosthesis. Proximal femur has been the most common site of involvement compared to acetabular prosthesis. The rarity of this clinical entity can lead to delay in definitive diagnosis and management, thus affecting the final outcome. Breast is the commonest site of carcinoma in female patients despite which not many cases of periprosthetic metastasis have been reported in the literature. We present the first case of extensive, isolated periacetabular bone destruction following a THR in a 59 years old female patient with a history of breast carcinoma. Patients with known primary malignancy should be screened thoroughly before operation and should be followed regularly after joint replacement surgery to detect any metastatic foci around the prosthesis. KEYWORDS Periprosthetic metastasis; Total hip replacement; Breast carcinoma.
