Hello,
* There can be multiple issues of a lucent lesion near prosthesis as compromised blood supply, secondary changes via body`s immune response to the foreign body in terms of the prosthesis or else.
Kindly send me a photocopy image of the CT scan for further in-depth evaluation and advise in accordance with the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
