Abstract
A case of bone necrosis with a pseudotumor following metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty is presented. The patient showed no abnormal magnetic resonance findings 2 years postoperatively, but serum metal ion levels were elevated. The patient developed hip pain 3.5 years postoperatively, and bone necrosis with a pseudotumor was found. The present patient emphasized the fact that tissue necrosis associated with failed metal-on-metal bearing hip might not be limited to soft tissues, but bone necrosis could occur.
