What is a pseudotumor.
Ceramic on ceramic pseudotumor.
There is no reported case to our knowledge of a pseudotumor related to a ceramic on ceramic coc tha.
We present a case with severe systemic repercussion after total hip arthro plasty revision with ceramic on polyethylene combination.
Massive pseudotumor in a ceramic poly revision.
The purpose of this study was to present a unique case of a pseudotumor in a coc tha.
Over the last decade pseudotumor has become a rising complication of total hip arthroplasty tha.
Although pseudotumor formation has been reported in ceramic on polyethylene articulations this was in the setting of elevated metal ion levels and ultimately attributed to modular neck wear.
It was a diagnostic challenge that although not treated at an early.
Pseudotumor is a rare complication after total hip arthroplasty more frequent in metal on metal combinations.
We present a case with severe systemic repercussion after total hip arthroplasty revision with ceramic on polyethylene combination.
Pseudotumor is a rare complication after total hip arthroplasty more frequent in metal on metal combinations.
Numerous reports exist of pseudotumor and altr reactions in non mom articulations in tha identifying trunnion wear as a source of metal ions 3 23 24.
