AI Article Synopsis
- A case report is presented about an acetabular prosthesis that migrated into the pelvis four years after a revision hip surgery.
- The migration led to a progressive displacement and caused a slow bleed from the left external iliac artery.
- The preferred diagnostic method to identify this injury and the slow bleed is contrast computed tomography, rather than digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
Article Abstract
We describe a case report where the acetabular prosthesis migrated medially into the pelvis over a period of four years, following revision hip arthroplasty. This was an acute on chronic progressive displacement that caused a slow bleed from the left external iliac artery. Contrast computed tomography is the investigation of choice to diagnose such an injury and demonstrate the slow bleed as opposed to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) arteriogram.
