متن کاملDelamination of tantalum porous coating from a TKA due to regional dissemination of debris.
Metallic debris from metal-on-metal bearings is a recognized mode of failure that may lead to implant loosening and periprosthetic soft tissue reactions. The sequelae of metallosis have been most commonly reported with respect to total hip arthroplasty. The authors report a rare case of metallosis following a hybrid metal-on-polyethylene total knee arthroplasty that used a porous tantalum tibia...
متن کاملGranulomatous Lung Disease: A Novel Complication following Metallosis from Hip Arthroplasty
A case of a female patient with local and systemic complications of metallosis, following catastrophic wear of a revised hip arthroplasty, is presented. The patient had a history of a fractured ceramic-on-ceramic implant, exchanged with a metal-on-polyethylene prosthesis. Systemic complications included sarcoidosis-like reactions, presenting as granulomatous lung disease, along with chorioretin...
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...
متن کاملHip Arthroplasty and its Revision in a Child: Case Report and Literature Review
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the leading cause of hip replacement in young children. However, arthroplasty in this population is challenging with several concerns about quality of the growing bone, young age for revision surgery, and difficulties in potential several revisions. In this study we introduce a case of a 12-year old who is one of the youngest patients to undergo revision hip art...
