Sumario:Metallosis is a well-known complication at the site of total hip and knee arthroplasty. Vascular involvement of this complication is rare and generally results from vascular compression by a mass or pseudotumor. In the present report, we have described a case of lower limb acute arterial ischemia due to arterial injury as a complication of metallosis with a fatal outcome.
