Abstract:
A case of two successive dislocations of a total hip arthroplasty in a single patient, complicated by acrylic cement interposition, is reported. Open reduction and removal of the cement was necessary in each case. This illustrates the importance of removing all cement debris at the time of prosthesis implantation.
