Zusammenfassung: | Abstract We report a case with hypersensitivity to CoCr in total hip arthroplasty coupled with conventional polyethylene and CoCr femoral head. The patient complained of left hip pain and systemic fever, and computed tomography imaging revealed a periprosthetic cystic lesion, so we performed revision total hip arthroplasty using a titanium stem and ceramic head and highly crosslinked polyethylene.
