Desplazamiento del encaje cementado en reducción de artroplasia de cadera.

El desplazamiento del encaje cementado después de la reducción de una artroplasia dislocada total de cadera.

Acute displacement of the cemented acetabular component of a hip arthroplasty after attempted reduction of a dislocation is described. The causes of displacement of the socket, which was not radiologically loose, are discussed. Potential causes include impingement of the femoral head and the ceramic screw head overhanging the acetabular bone, which was used to fix the bone graft.
