Abstract
We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the hip which occurred 30 years after the insertion of a single chrome-cobalt alloy screw for a slipped femoral epiphysis. The possible aetiological association between malignant tumours and metallic implants is discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
