Cobalt-Chromium Toxicity Following Revision Of Total Hip Replacement, Ramy Samargandi, Louis-Romée Le Nail, Bandar Hetaimish, Maxime Saad
Saudi Medical Journal
Systemic cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) toxicity following a total hip replacement is a rare complication that may sometimes lead to fatal consequences. We report a case of a 64-year-old woman, who presented with Co-Cr toxicity after revision of fractured ceramic components with metal-on-polyethylene. Systemic toxicity occurred a year after surgery and was expressed brutally with mostly central neurological symptoms. Revision surgery allowed rapid regression of all symptoms. Prosthetic revision with a metal bearing surface after a history of fracture of the ceramic bearing component should be avoided. Orthopedic surgeons and the different medical actors should be aware of this rare but serious …
