Massive pelvic and femoral pseudotumoral osteolysis secondary to an uncemented total hip arthroplasty.

摘要

A 51 year-old man developed an extensive osteolytic response to wear debris in an uncemented porous-coated total hip arthroplasty, with metal/polyethylene interface, which had been implanted eighteen years previously. This reaction, which involved the upper femur and the ilium, produced a mass which compressed the pelvic viscera.
