Q
  1. A 58-year-old healthy woman had hip arthroplasty 3 years ago with a recalled modular stem and metal-on-metal articulation. She continued to have hip pain following her surgery. Her cobalt and chromium ion levels are elevated, but her C-reactive protein level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate are within defined limits. A small fluid collection is seen around the hip on metal artifact reduction sequence MRI. At the time of revision, there was a large amount of cloudy fluid around the hip joint. Her cell count is 1000/mm3 with 45% nucleated cells (by manual count). The femoral and acetabular components are in good position and are well fixed to the bone. There is evidence of taper corrosion. What is the most appropriate next step?
  2. Remove all components and place the cement spacer.
  3. Remove all components and revise the femur and acetabulum.
  4. Retain the components and place a new femoral head and acetabular liner.
  5. Revise the femoral component and acetabular liner.
  6. Close the wound and await culture results before proceeding with the revision.
A
  1. Revise the femoral component and acetabular liner.
