Fatal Cobalt Cardiomyopathy Following Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty – A Brief Report with Review of Literature
Authors
Abstract:
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 been reported with this approach. The residual ceramic particles may leadto complications. We report a fatal case of cobalt toxicity leading to cardiomyopathy secondary to the catastrophicfailure of a Cobalt-Chrome femoral head, which followed the revision of a fractured ceramic-on-ceramic total hiparthroplasty.Level of evidence: IV

Hip 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...

Background: Adult degenerative disorders of hip and spine are common. The recent studies inconsistently havediscussed about the influence of spinal disorders on total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this review, we discussed clearlyabout these relationships and their effects on the most appropriate position of the acetabular component.Methods: We searched on databases and evaluated the articles abou...

Vascular injuries following total hip arthroplasty (THA) are very rare, with pseudoaneurysm being a small subset. We report a case of profunda femoris artery (PFA) pseudoaneurysm in a 61-year-old male following a posterior approach revision left THA. Presentation involved continued blood transfusion requirements several weeks postoperatively. Diagnosis of the pseduoaneurysm was made by contrast...

Revision total hip arthroplasty with massive bone loss and pelivic discontinuity has no standardized treatment up until now. This report presents a case of a female patient with a diagnosed pelvic discontinuity 4 years after the previous hip arthroplasty. The patient is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, and was admitted to hospital treatment for hip pain, leg shortening, limitated range of m...
full textRevision of failed total hip arthroplasty.
Ninety-seven revisions of total hip replacements are reviewed with a median time of observation of 47 months. Satisfactory pain relief was obtained in 86%. There were six complete failures which were reduced to three by further surgery. One hip became infected and was excised. In 12 cases the revisions were complicated by peroperative fractures and in five by dislocations. Radiographic analysis...
