Total Hip replacement offers complete resolution of symptoms and restoration of Hip function. The long-term success of hip replacement primarily depends on wear and osteolysis resulting from the bearing surfaces used in hip replacement surgery. Different bearing surfaces have been used in hip replacements with variable success rate. Traditional combinations include, metal on polyethylene, ceramic on Polyethylene and metal on metal articulations. Ceramic on ceramic Bearing couple is a relatively newer combination recommended for younger patients requiring Total hip Arthroplasty. Ceramics have the lowest wear rate and are showing promising long-term results in international literature. We report the use of this bearing surface for the first time in Pakistan. Continuous...

SummaryCase description: A 10-year-old female Belgian Teruven dog was presented to our clinic for total hip revision following a diagnosis of implant (cup) failure with metallosis and abdominal pseudotumour formation. The patient had a cementless metal-on-polyethylene total hip replacement performed nine years prior to presentation.Clinical findings: The clinical findings, including pseudotumour formation locally and at sites distant from the implant and pain associated with the joint replacement, were similar to those described in human patients with this condition. Histopathological, surgical, and radiographic findings additionally supported the diagnosis of metallosis and pseudotumour formation.Treatment and outcome: Distant site pseudo -tumours were surgically removed and the total hip replacement was explanted due to poor bone quality. The patient recovered uneventfully and has since resumed normal activity.Conclusion: In veterinary patients with metal-on-polyethylene total hip implants, cup failure leading to metallosis and pseudo-tumour formation should be considered as a potential cause of ipsilateral hindlimb lameness, intra-pelvic abdominal tumours, or a combination of both. These clinical findings may occur years after total hip replacement surgery.
