Abstract
This is a case report of a 44-year-old patient in whom osteolytic changes that developed around the distal end of the femoral prosthesis appeared to reverse with the use of antiinflammatory medication and pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation. Most reported cases of osteolysis have been described as showing progressive change at a variable rate. There has not been any previously documented case in which there has been reversal of osteolytic change.
