Gout with aseptic loosening of cementless total hip arthroplasty--a case report.
One case of gouty patient with aseptic loosening of cementless total hip arthroplasty was reported. Mechanical and biological factors may both play some roles in this ollsening hip. From both cup and stem, no direct evidence of loosening was found from pathologic aspect. Further study may need to define relationship between gout and loosening of total hip arthroplasty.
