Extreme Serum Titanium Concentration Induced by Catastrophic Acetabular Cup Failure: Unveiling a Unique Scenario of Titanium Alloy Debris Accumulation
2024-01-23
Abstract excerpt
The majority of contemporary total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants are constructed from Ti-alloys, which are generally believed to generate fewer adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) compared to CoCr-alloys. This study presents a case of unusual primary THA failure where a substantial release of Ti-alloy debris was observed. A 52-year-old active male underwent THA after posttraumatic aseptic necrosis of the femor...
