Abstract

Following arthroscopic hip labral repair, trochanteric bursectomy and iliotibial band lengthening, a patient presented with signs and symptoms that are consistent with allergic reactions that were localized to incision sites. The patient reported discomfort due to pain and pruritus about the surgical sites and was treated with antibiotics, antihistamines, and anti-inflammatory medication. Her skin was kept under close observation and, upon consulting with a dermatologist, the diagnosis of Monocryl allergy was made. Amidst the rarity of skin irritation due to the material of sutures, it is important to monitor for a possible Monocryl allergy, and suture necessitation is crucial.
