Metallosis is a well-documented phenomenon in hip and knee arthroplasty from metal on metal bearing joint replacements. However, few cases of metallosis of metacarpophalangeal joint replacements have been reported. We present the case of a 49-year-old lady with rheumatoid arthritis who had previously undergone MCP joint replacements over 20 years ago. The decision was taken to revise her middle MCP joint after she developed pain and ulnar drift. At revision, the joint exhibited severe metallosis presumably arising from the grommet component of the replacement. This required considerable debridement and removal of the components and revision to a new upsized implant without grommets. It is of note that there were no external signs of metallosis with full flexion of the finger and a good roll up.

The developments in hip and knee arthroplasty over recent years have aimed to improve outcomes, reduce complications and improve implant survival. This review describes some of the most interesting trends and developments in this important and fast-moving field. Notable developments have included ceramic hip resurfacing, mini hip stems, cementless knee replacement and the wider adoption of the dual mobility articulation for hip arthroplasty. Advances in additive manufacturing and the surface modification of joint replacements offer increasing options for more challenging arthroplasty cases. Robotic assisted surgery is one of the most interesting developments in hip and knee surgery. The recent growth in the use of this technology is providing data that will help determine whether this approach should become the standard of care for hip and knee arthroplasty in the future.
