We reviewed 19 patients who presented with aggressive granulomatosis around the femoral stem after hip replacement. All had experienced stress pain and had required revision arthroplasty on average 8.8 years after the primary operation. Fifteen patients were men and four were women; none had rheumatoid arthritis. One patient had an uncemented Moore hemiprosthesis; the others all had cemented total hip replacements. When first detected, the granulomatous lesions were multifocal in 13 patients. The first granuloma was in the region of the lesser trochanter in 10, and near the tip of the stem in only two. Speed of growth varied but on average there was doubling of the area on anteroposterior films in 2.2 years (range 6 months to 4.6 years). Aggressive granulomatous lesions in replaced hips are a distinct condition, different from simple loosening or infection; the lesions may grow rapidly, so revision surgery is indicated soon after diagnosis.
