Metallosis is mainly described in the hip joint at the time of wear or inappropriate use. Cases have also been reported in patients with a knee prosthesis, but never after tibial osteotomy. We report a rare case of metallosis resulting from metal-alumina contact after open wedge tibial osteotomy. The patient complained of pain, which was relieved after removal of the plate nine months after the first operation. Intraoperative inspection revealed metallosis at the synthesis site and local plate wear at zone of contact with the ceramic filler. Removal of the plate and cleaning of the metallosis zone led to full relief of the pain at one and a half months. |
