Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty

A 3-year-old, German shepherd dog died suddenly during cemented total hip arthroplasty. Gross necropsy findings included severe pulmonary edema and congestion as well as congestion of the liver and kidneys. Acute pulmonary embolism was suspected as the cause of death. Microscopic examination of hematoxylin and eosin-stained, formalin-fixed, and oil red O-stained frozen tissue sections confirmed the presence of large numbers of fat globules in blood vessels in the lungs, liver, and kidneys. Fat embolism during total hip arthroplasty is a common surgical complication in humans, but it is uncommon in veterinary cases and is rarely a cause of death.

Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty

Acetabular extrusion of cement during total hip arthroplasty is a well-recognised occurrence. We report a case of femoral neuropathy secondary to an extruded cement mass nine years after primary cemented total hip arthroplasty. Removal of the cement resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms.
