Key Points

Lichen planus developed following placement of an orthopedic implant, indicating a potential connection with immune response.
A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lichen planus, highlighting the importance of pathological assessment in similar cases.
Assessment involved clinical observation and histological examination, providing insights into the inflammation process associated with implants.
This case supports the notion that orthopedic implants may trigger autoimmune conditions like lichen planus; further investigation is warranted.
