Abstract:
The titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V is widely used for joint implantation. In spite of its favorable characteristics, titanium alloy can be particularly susceptible to wear, thus generating metallic debris that can lead to aseptic loosening of the implant. We report a case of osteolysis by metal debris after cementless total hip arthroplasty.
