| Title: | Severe Metallosis in an Isoelastic Hip Prosthesis | Authors: | Thiagarajan, P. Das De, S. |
Keywords: | Isoelastic hip prosthesis Metallosis |
Issue Date: | Jul-1998 | Citation: | Thiagarajan, P., Das De, S. (1998-07). Severe Metallosis in an Isoelastic Hip Prosthesis. Singapore Medical Journal 39 (7) : 324-325. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Severe black staining due to metallic wear debris has been reported in metal-on-metal hip prosthesis(3). This problem is not commonly seen because of the popular use of metal-on-polyethylene component and has not been previously reported with the use of isoelastic femoral prosthesis. We report a case of severe metallosis in an isoelastic prosthesis, four years after implantation. | Source Title: | Singapore Medical Journal | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/133807 | ISSN: | 00375675 |
