Chronic Expanding Hematoma With Progressive Osteolysis After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Case Report

A 31-year-old man without any other medical history developed severe hip pain seven years after right primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Radiography revealed extensive progressive osteolysis around the cup and stem. Periprosthetic infections and adverse reactions to the metal debris were absent. Right revision THA was performed, and chronic expanding hematoma (CEH) was diagnosed based on a comprehensive assessment. CEH should be diagnosed early because progressive osteolysis may generate an extensive hematoma. Thus, it should be considered when progressive osteolysis of an unknown cause is encountered after THA.
