Can an allergic/Immunologic reaction to Orthopedic Implant made of an Iron Alloy (Surgical Stainless Steel) and Polyethylene Suture cause severe neurologic and CNS disturbance ? Can elevated Ferritin level of 677.9 in adult male be caused by the Iron Alloy? Is removal of the Implant the best course of action and how can we locate an OS who is willing to remove the implant?

Hi! You wrote that everything has been one month after intervention that patient health begin to deteriorate, and the doctors has diagnosed him for Encephalitis. Cerebelitis. Those are common complications that may be happened during or after a surgery intervene and in my opinion are the reasons of all the signs that you prescribe after. So i believe that patient had based a cerebral accident which need a lot of time to recover with medications.physiotherapy.etc. Since immunologic and allergic test are negative that is no reason to connect the patient s situation with an allergic reaction of implant. I think that full recovery will be possible after some times(depend on accident) but the reason of all is at cerebral accident and I connect with the orthopedic surgeon idea that implant haven't reasons to remove. My regards !
