    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) is a common orthopedic procedure.
    • Complications, though rare, can occur post-operatively.

    Observation:

    • Two patients developed acute partial ureteral obstruction following Charnley total hip replacement.
    • The obstruction was attributed to an intrapelvic cement plug.

    Findings:

    • Intrapelvic cement extrusion can lead to ureteral compromise.
    • This represents a rare but significant post-operative complication.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this complication is crucial for surgeons performing THR.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are necessary to prevent renal damage.
