Event or Problem Description

Additional information received stating that 6 weeks ago patient started to have squeaking and clicking in the right hip and came to ed but no xrays; she was admitted around 5 days before revision with a dislocated hip; post reduction xray showed eccentric reduction; patient able to walk with difficulty.Probably the diagnosis was delayed and the liner was disengaged when she came initially to ed with clicking and squeaking; the fact that i found metallosis around the hip and fretting corrosion in the cup proves she was walking "metal on metal", as the liner dissociated from the cup.There was no unnecessary delay in surgical management, once admitted to hospital with dislocation; the few days delay was necessary to organised a list, with arrangements for kit and availability of specialist surgeon to do the case.The affected hip was the right one; the liner was found dislodged from the superior side and subluxed inferiorly (as it has been previously reported in the literature with pinnacle cup! ), with the metal head "articulated" directly into the postero-superior part of the shell, with consecutive metallosis affecting superior and posterior part of the hip- mainly capsular structures, without muscle destruction.
