A benign psoas mass following metal-on-metal resurfacing of the hip

Abstract

As metal-on-metal arthroplasty becomes more widespread, concerns are being raised about the potential dangers of metal particulate debris. We present the case of a benign psoas mass secondary to the presence of such particles. The mass was excised and the hip resurfacing subsequently revised to a total hip replacement. ©2006 British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery.
