Description
Summary:Iliopsoas bursitis has been increasingly recognised as a complication of total hip arthroplasty and is usually associated with polyethylene wear. A case of haemorrhagic iliopsoas bursitis complicating an otherwise well-functioning ceramic-on-ceramic arthroplasty performed by a minimal invasive modified two-incision technique is reported. The bursitis in turn resulted in femoral nerve palsy and femoral vein compression. There was no evidence to support that the bursitis was due to an inflammatory response to ceramic wear particles or any other wear particles originating from the total hip arthroplasty.
