Background: Metal on Metal Hip arthroplasty was commonly used until the last decade. However Hip Arthroplasty registries of many countries showed increased revision rates of MOM Hips – these high rates of revision caused by trunnionosis, adverse tissue reactions (ALTRs) and Pseudotumor formation.
The Case: Our Case is 73 years old gentleman who had left MOM THR in 2008, and was doing fine till the beginning of 2018 when his left leg stuck while getting out of the car. Despite he heard the pop and his leg was shortened and externally rotated, but he was still walking on it for a while. On reviewing him in our orthopedic clinic and after getting the CT-scan showed that he had dislocated femoral head from the stem.
Key words: Metal on Metal Arthroplasty / Trunnionosis / Pseudotumor
