Peri-articular soft-tissue masses or 'pseudotumours' can occur after large-diameter metal-on-
metal (MoM) resurfacing of the hip and conventional total hip replacement (THR). Our aim …

Introduction The incidence and natural course of pseudotumors in metal-on-metal total hip
arthroplasties is largely unknown. The objective of this study was to identify the true …

Objective Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA) has become a popular
option for young patients requiring hip replacement. A recognised complication is the …

Background Soft tissue masses, or “pseudotumors,” around metal-on-metal total hip
arthroplasty (MoM THA) have been reported frequently; however, their prevalence remains …

Background: Metal-on-metal bearings for hip arthroplasty have been in clinical use for over
twenty years with excellent clinical results reported worldwide. A small percentage (< 1%) of …

Background: The cause of recently reported pseudotumor formation in patients with metal-
on-metal hip replacements is unknown. It has been postulated that there is an association …

Symptomatic abnormal periprosthetic soft-tissue reactions (“pseudotumors”) have been
reported after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA). The aims of this study …

The purpose of this study is to quantify the prevalence of pseudotumors in patients with well-
functioning and painful metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty, to characterize the …

The presence of pseudotumours, which are soft-tissue masses relating to the hip, after metal-
on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty has been associated with elevated levels of metal ions …

Pseudotumour is a rare but important complication of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing that
occurs much more commonly in women than in men. We examined the relationship between …
