Abstract:
The most common form of allergic dermatitis due to orthopedic implant is persistent eczematous reaction. We present an allergic dermatitis occurring in the right upper arm of 77-year-old man who presented an erythematous edematous patch & plaque on the right upper arm after humerus osteosynthesis with orthopedic implant. The lesion disappeared after the removal of the orthopedic implant.
