Abstract EN
The natural course of adverse events following the use of metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well known.
In this article, we report the case of a patient with asymptomatic major acetabular osteolysis following MoM THA that diminished gradually without any surgical intervention.
A 58-year-old male underwent one-stage bilateral MoM THA for bilateral osteoarthritis.
Four years after THA, major acetabular osteolysis developed in his right hip without any local or systemic symptoms.
The patient underwent a careful radiographic and clinical observation without any surgical intervention because he did not want to undergo revision surgery.
The lesion gradually diminished after 7 years, and most of the osteolytic area was replaced by newly formed bone at 10 years.
He continues to be followed with no evidence of cup loosening or migration.
Our observation suggests that a periprosthetic osteolytic change related to the use of MoM bearings has the potential for natural remission.
