Abstract

A 62-year-old female patient showed radiographic signs of severe linear wear of the acetabular component six years after cementless total hip arthroplasty. This suggested wear-through of the acetabular liner with secondary wear of the titanium shell. At revision surgery wear-through of both the inlay and the acetabular shell were confirmed. Despite meticulous debridement serum titanium levels remained elevated for more than 12 months. Wear-through of a polyethylene acetabular liner with secondary wear of the titanium shell can lead to increased titanium serum levels. Titanium serum levels can remain highly elevated despite revision surgery.

Zusammenfassung

Eine 62-jährige Patientin zeigte radiologische Hinweise auf Abrieb der acetabulären Komponente einer zementfreien Hüft-Totalendoprothese sechs Jahre nach Erstimplantation. Der Abrieb setzte sich aus dem Polyethylenabrieb des Liners und dem Titanabrieb der Pfanne zusammen. Trotz sorgfältigem Debridement des periartikulären Gewebes blieb der Titanserumspiegel für mehr als 12 Monate erhöht. Acetabulärer Polyethylenabrieb und Titanabrieb können zu einem erhöhten Titanserumspiegel führen. Der Titanserumspiegel kann trotz einer Revisionsoperation hoch bleiben.
