A 44-year-old woman underwent a left total hip arthroplasty (see total hip replacement) in 1991 because of avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurring during pregnancy four years earlier. She felt a snap in the left hip, and developed instability. The X-ray shows eccentricity of the prosthetic femoral head, and bone resorption in the ilium around the screws.
The CT scan through the screws shows marked bone resorption and cortical thinning.
