Ceramic on ceramic pseudotumor.

Over the last decade pseudotumor has become a rising complication of total hip arthroplasty tha. Massive pseudotumor in a ceramic poly revision. There is no reported case to our knowledge of a pseudotumor related to a ceramic on ceramic coc 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.

Pseudotumor is a rare complication after total hip arthroplasty more frequent in metal on metal combinations. What is a pseudotumor. We present a case with severe systemic repercussion after total hip arthro plasty revision with ceramic on polyethylene combination. The purpose of this study was to present a unique case of a pseudotumor in a coc tha.

These devices are made from a variety of synthetic materials such as metal polyethylene plastic and ceramic. 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.
