Metallosis is a rare cause of failure after total knee replacement and has only previously
been reported when there has been abnormal metal-on-metal contact. We describe 14
patients (15 knees) whose total knee replacement required revision for a new type of early
failure caused by extensive metallosis. A modification of a cementless rotating platform
implant, which had previously had excellent long-term survival, had been used in each case.

Metallosis is a rare cause of failure after total knee replacement and has only previously been reported when there has been abnormal metal-on-metal contact. We describe 14 patients (15 knees) whose total knee replacement required revision for a new type of early failure caused by extensive metallosis. A modification of a cementless rotating platform implant, which had previously had excellent long-term survival, had been used in each case. The change was in the form of a new porous-beaded surface on the femoral component to induce cementless fixation, which had been used successfully in the fixation of acetabular and tibial components. This modification appeared to have resulted in metallosis due to abrasive two-body wear. The component has subsequently been recalled and is no longer in use. The presentation, investigation, and findings at revision are described and a possible aetiology and its implications are discussed.
