Massive exposition to titanium, but without sensitization: A case report of an overlooked disassembly of a modular acetabular component

Lalor et al. (1991) have suggested the occurrence of sensitization to titanium after implant failure. We report a case of excessive and prolonged deposition of titanium and titanium alloy-debris after disassembly of a modular acetabular component in which no sensitization was found.
