Abstract

Orthopaedic implants are made up of metal alloys which even though are inert may cause allergic hypersensitivity reactions which may systemic or cutaneous. We discuss a case of hypersensitivity reaction to orthopaedic forearm plating which was manifested locally thought out the body surface. Dermatologist and orthopaedic surgeon worked collaboratively to manage this scenario successfully. However, further research needs to be carried out for detection and prevention.
