This case report illustrates hip joint pain caused by electromagnetic waves\nfollowing an operation for a complex humerus fracture. The subject was a\n22-year-old woman. The patient complained of pain in her left hip joint and\ndiscomfort, particularly while walking. The subject suffered a fracture in her\nleft upper arm in a traffic accident approximately 3 months previously. She\nunderwent an operation wherein seven titanium bolts were used to fix the\nhumerus. The operation was deemed successful and the prognosis of the operation\nwas also good; however, approximately 3 months after the operation,\nshe developed pain and discomfort in her left hip joint, particularly while\nwalking. Symptoms were improved by covering the surgical field with aluminum\nfoil, blocking electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves attracted by\nthe titanium bolts may have induced pain.
