Massive non-Infectious Inflammatory Muscle Infiltrate Following Hip Arthroplasty Confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Arthroplasty is currently a treatment of choice in advanced osteoarthritis. A register published in Sweden in 2017 showed that approximately 40% of hip arthroplasty procedures in patients whose osteoarthritis is secon­dary to childhood diseases are performed in individuals under 50 years of age. We describe the treatment of a 42-year-old female patient after hip arthroplasty with a massive non-in­fec­tious inflammatory muscle infiltrate, who did recreational sports. An individualised treatment and physiotherapy programme made it possible for the patient to fully resume her recreational sports activities.
