Abstract
A 51 year-old man developed an extensive osteolytic response to wear debris in an uncemented porous-coated total hip arthroplasty, with metal/polyethy lene interface, which had been implanted eighteen years previously. This re action, which involved the upper femur and the ilium, produced a mass which compressed the pelvic viscera.
