Abstract
Abstract: Patient is a 64-yr-old female with a history of right total hip arthroplasty who presented with progressive, painful right lower extremity edema and chronic groin pain for 2 years. A computed tomography scan from October 2021 revealed an expanding, large iliopsoas bursal fluid collection that caused compression of the right common femoral artery and vein in June 2023. Further workup excluded deep venous thrombosis or infectious causes. Iliopsoas fluid collections can result from various conditions such as a rare complication of total hip arthroplasty. This is likely due to mechanical irritation from the prosthetic components and was confirmed with resolution of symptoms after undergoing revision of total hip arthroplasty in 2024. This case highlights iliopsoas hematoma as a rare but important consideration in patients with unilateral lower extremity edema after total hip arthroplasty.
期刊介绍:
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
