Foreign body‐induced arthritis is a rare etiology of mono‐arthritis. It should be suspected in the case of postoperative arthritis, even if some decades have passed since surgery. Histopathology of the tissues is required for a definitive diagnosis, and debridement is essential for complete recovery.
