  • Title: Osteosarcoma eight years after total hip arthroplasty.
    Author: Roe SC, DeYoung D, Weinstock D, Kyles A.
    Journal: Vet Surg; 1996; 25(1):70-4. PubMed ID: 8719088.
    Abstract:
    This report presents a case of osteosarcoma of the femoral diaphysis associated with chronic stimulation of the area by an unstable femoral prosthesis after total hip arthroplasty performed 8 years previously. The pathogenesis of this transformation may be similar to that proposed for fracture-associated sarcoma. Neoplasia should be considered as a possible late complication of total hip arthroplasty.
