title: Metal allergy after first metatarsophalangeal total joint replacement--Case report.
abstract: A 62-year-old female patient presented with a symptomatic metal allergy six weeks after first metatarsophalangeal total joint replacement using ROTOGLIDE implant. Preoperatively, there was no history of hypersensitivity. The symptomatic dermatitis was evaluated using dermal patch testing. The implant had to be removed. The possible agents for the allergic reaction are discussed.
