Cemented total hip arthroplasty in a patient with alpha-mannosidosis: a case report

Hip Int. 2009 Apr-Jun;19(2):151-4. doi: 10.1177/112070000901900213.

Abstract

Mannosidosis is an extremely rare genetic disease occurring due to deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, alpha-mannosidase. Patients with this disorder often suffer from musculoskeletal abnormalities and muscular weakness leading to joint destruction and severe morbidity along with other major systems involvement. We present here such a case of a 27-year-old male that highlights the challenges in management of hip joint destruction secondary to Mannosidosis.
