The increasing frequency of joint arthroplasty has led to an increasing requirement for revision surgery. When treating an aseptically failed elbow arthroplasty one of the main issues is poor or absent proximal ulna bone stock, due to osteolysis. We report our experience with the use of strut allograft reconstruction of the proximal ulna, as an adjunctive procedure to non-custom revision total ...

With newer-generation ceramic components used in total hip arthroplasty, component fracture is a rare complication. However rare, when ceramic component fracture does occur, prompt identification and revision is necessary as delay can lead to dramatic failure with resultant metallosis as the extremely hard ceramic debris abrades remaining components. We present a case of a 70-year-old woman wit...

An 18-year-old woman presented with a gradually increasing distal leg mass 8 years after wide resection for an osteosarcoma and reconstruction of the proximal left tibia with a rotating hinged knee megaprosthesis. Open biopsy of the distal leg mass showed necrobiotic tissue, metallosis, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, histiocytes, and multinucleated giant cells. The patient underwent debridement of t...
