Arteriovenous malformation mimicking femoral osteolysis after total hip arthroplasty
Abstract
We encountered a case of apparent progressive femoral osteolysis around a well-fixed cementless implant in a young patient. At the time of revision arthroplasty, massive hemorrhaging occurred during exposure and attempted femoral component extraction. Urgent packing of the exposed endosteum with polymethyl methacrylate controlled the bone bleeding. Emergent angiography confirmed an arteriovenous malformation with extensive proximal diaphyseal …
