#Metallosis after Total #KneeArthroplasty
A 56-year-old woman underwent total knee arthroplasty forKellgren–Lawrence grade 4 knee #osteoarthritis.
Fifteen months after surgery, follow-up radiographsdemonstrated #periprosthetic radiolucent lines around the tibialcomponent, suggesting #loosening.
In addition, newly developed radiodense material was notedwithin the suprapatellar bursa.
#CT showed synovial thickening of the suprapatellar bursa andhyperdense metallic debris in the #periprosthetic soft tissues.
The imaging findings were consistent with metallosis, whichwas subsequently confirmed histopathologically after #revisionsurgery. #radiology #mskradiology ##orthopedics #radtwitter #radres #medicine #orthotwitter #medstudenttwitter #kneearthroplasty #prosthesiscomplication

My son has his #Magec Rods implanted since Nov 2016. Current maximum implant time is 2 years. Long waits for care increase risk to our #scoliosis children. @NuVasiveInc #metallosis @OCO_ireland @CHIatCrumlin @paulreiddublin @DonnellyStephen @CMOIreland
Another small piece of metal is slowly making it's way out of my leg, and it's crazy how bad it burns! #CPP #AVN #Metallosis
(2/5) MAVRIC MRI of the left hip notable for fluid collection --> suspicion for #metallosis.
Labs normal except… elevated serum #cobalt and chromium. What! How?!

... in #patients who complain of #symptoms. The #US #Food and #Drug #Administration #FDA has not recommended a #safe #level of #metal ions in the #blood because there are few studies.
One #orthopedic #doctor, Stephen S. Tower, wrote about two cases of #metallosis...
<<#Metallosis often causes the following #symptoms:
#Cardiomyopathy (#heart problems), including heart failure
#Depression, #anxiety and other #mental problems
#Visual impairment that may lead to #blindness
#Cognitive impairment
#Nerve problems
#Thyroid problems
...
... and #chromium. Both total #hip replacement and hip #resurfacing #systems can cause #metallosis, though the rate is higher with resurfacing #components.>>

But #metallosis still needs to be ruled out with MRI, because that noninfectious etiology triggers a false-positive result with the #Synovasure rapid test. https://t.co/ohvjH17OML via @jbjs @AAHKS
...But when I'm riding my bike, I can move fast, for me. An observer wouldn't even know I'm disabled, until I dismount. Those wheels are my freedom...

Toxic #MetalHipImplants May Lead to #Metallosis https://t.co/kZQZgLK2lX #hipreplacement #hipimplant #hipimplants #metalhips #medicaldevice
Metal poisoning occurs when toxic levels of metal build up in the body. This can cause damage to tissue, bone and the nervous system. #Metallosis is a type of #metalpoisoning that can occur from joint replacement devices with metal components. - https://t.co/1tEmRlufru
Growth sparing #spinal #surgery in early onset #scoliosis can be achieved by #growing rods; this study highlights #concerns with #tissue #metallosis in magnetically controlled growing rods https://t.co/k6oeNGwLSR #complications #reactions #ThursdayThoughts #ThrowbackThursday
