| Popis: | This case report describes a complication of pseudotumour secondary to metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty. The patient suffered an acute limb ischaemia after pseudotumour material invaded and stenosed the external iliac artery and embolised distally. Multiple vascular surgery procedures were carried out to revascularise the limb. This report highlights the importance of involving the vascular surgeons early in a limb threatening presentation of pseudotumour to achieve limb salvage. |
