Abstract
Although vascular injuries after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are uncommon, they may lead to severe complications which can result in a threat to life and limb. The different patterns of such injuries include lacerations with acute hemorrhage, arteriovenous fistula, thrombosis, and pseudoaneurysms [1, 2]. Periprosthetic osteolysis is a well known phenomenon caused by wear particle-induced bone resorption or other pathologic processes, including infection, metabolic disease, and neoplasia [3]. Nevertheless, as far as we are aware, no reports have yet been published on aneurysms associated with periprosthetic osteolysis. We present a case of a patient who developed a deep femoral artery pseudoaneurysm mimicking periprosthetic joint infection with osteolysis after total hip replacement.
