Can anyone help me out with dx.

doc did revision THA - due to polyethylene failure and METALLOSIS. I cannot find anything for the Metallosis?

Leaning towards unspecified complication of implant.

Anyone seen this B4?
 
I'd look @ 996.47 for prosthetic joint failure and 996.77 for internal joint prosthesis complication for the metallosis with v43.64 to identifiy the hip joint replacement.
