Objective: To report a rare case of venous aneurysm. Design: Case report. Setting: Departments of General Surgery and Orthopaedic Surgery, The Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath, a district general hospital. Patient, intervention and results: A 63-year-old woman underwent revision of a right total hip replacement in 1994, using a cemented prosthesis. She continued to have pain in the region of the hip and a pulsatile swelling was noted in the right iliac fossa. A pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery was suspected but investigations showed a venous aneurysm of the external iliac vein. Thus far, this aneurysm has been observed without complication. In 1996 the prosthesis was revised because of loosening of the femoral component and the pain resolved. Conclusion: Vascular injury is a rare complication of total hip replacement and thermal arterial injury can occur. Iliac venous aneurysms are recognized but are extremely rare so we conclude that this lesion was caused by thermal injury.

This report presents a clinical case of treatment of Salmonella coxitis, developed as a result of bacteremia, which is a fairly rare complication. We performed head resection of both femurs and, after long-term antibiotic therapy, total hip replacement within six months from the onset of the disease. Given the lack of publications on the tactics of treating patients with this pathology in the accessible medical literature, we believe that our experience will be useful to specialists engaged in the treatment of patients with diseases of large joints.

Demonstrable anterior subluxation of the femoral head after a total hip arthroplasty is a rare complication and is usually transient. Both a case of recurrent subluxation and a case of chronic subluxation are described in this paper, each one presenting with unexpected femoral head eccentricity in the acetabulum on radiograph. We show how this unusual complication can be successfully identified and treated.
