- Title
Massive Osteolysis and Pseudotumor Formation following Maestro Total Wrist Arthroplasty.
- Authors
Sagerfors, Marcus; Reiser, Daniel
- Abstract
Metallosis is a known complication of arthroplasty and has been reported for the hip, knee, and shoulder joints. Metallosis pseudotumors have been linked to an increased risk of implant failure. We report a case of pseudotumor with massive bone loss following total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) using the Maestro implant. Revision to arthrodesis is possible, but issues with bone loss have to be addressed. We recommend caution in offering TWA to young patients with high functional demands.
