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

D R Boardman et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2006 Mar.

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.
