Total hip replacement in a patient with systemic mastocytosis: a case report

P A Fenton et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

Systemic mastocytosis is a rare condition that often involves the bone marrow. We report the case of a patient with systemic mastocytosis who underwent total hip replacement. Technical difficulties encountered during the procedure included a narrow medullary canal and abnormally hard bone, later confirmed by laboratory measurements. Follow-up at five years showed a good clinical and radiological outcome.
