An unusual cause for a painful Birmingham hip resurfacing
Authors:KA Islam  SM Blake
Affiliation:South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, UK
Abstract:
The painful total hip arthroplasty requires careful evaluation and investigation. This is usually focused on the prosthesis and adjacent anatomical structures. We present a case report of a 64-year-old man who had a Birmingham hip resurfacing procedure for primary osteoarthritis. His hip pain worsened following the procedure and was under systematic investigation for this. Subsequent investigation for vascular disease revealed a total infrarenal aortic occlusion. An aortobifemoral bypass improved the hip pain and function dramatically, and the patient now has an excellent quality of life.
Keywords:Hip arthroplasty   Postoperative pain   Peripheral vascular disease
