Condition after implantation of an accoldade shaft with v40 head, development of a large pseudotumor in the groin area due to known cone problems in this implant combination.Surgeon forwarded us the following information: in summary, the incident is the following situation: (b)(6).In 2007 implantation of a cementless hip endoprosthesis (accolade, trident, metal head -0.5, article numbers according to surgical report).Development of local metal intolerance with large "pseudotumor" / armd in the left hip with compression of the iliac vein presumably in the years 2014 to 2107 of increasing size.Currently 2017/2018 increasing local discomfort in the left hip joint.Metal value increase with cobalt in whole blood 6,89 ¿g / l (reference range 0,5-3,9 ¿g / l) at normal chromium values ¿¿(0,62 ¿g / l at reference value 0,5 to 4,0 ¿g / l in whole blood).X-ray increasing osteolysis in the cup area, in ct and mri mri , formation of a large pseudotumor both in the area of ¿¿the outside hip muscles and in the retroperitoneum around the iliacus muscle.Due to increasing complaints, the resection of the pseudotumor with head and inlay changes took place on (b)(6) 2018 (clear conical corrosion visible without any indication of relevant substance defect.) therefore change to v40 titanium adapter for delta ceramic module head 36 mm).The patient wanted the implants to be delivered, which is why a transfer of the removed head and inlay after sonication is not possible.
