Metal Mesh Saved The Joint In Primary Hip Arthroplasty In Low-Resource Setting.

Abstract

<h4>Introduction</h4>Joint replacement surgeries have gained momentum in the recent years. Chronic negligence by the patients is very commonly seen in developing countries, leading to gross deformity of the joints.<h4>Case report</h4>We report a case of 59-year-old female who had avascular necrosis of the right hip with complete erosion of medial wall of acetabulum. A metal mesh, customized to this patient, was used along with the primary total hip arthroplasty to reconstruct and stabilize the acetabulum.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The mesh provided stability to the hip joint, and currently, the patient is under follow-up with promising results.
