As reported, the patient underwent hip prosthesis replacement surgery approximately 4 years 11 months after initial implant.In 2019, the patient had a hip prosthesis cup implanted.As part of the manufacturer's recall, the patient came in for a check-up.The x-ray and ct scan showed a slight decentration of the prosthesis head and osteolysis in the acetabulum as a sign of inlay wear.This was verified when the inlay was changed to a vit e-hardened, specially approved inlay (novation xle, neutral liner, group 4, 36 mm i.D., ref 140-36-54, sn (b)(6)).As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay exchange, the firm cup integrity was determined, as well as the curettage and filling of the cysts in the cup bed using hydroxyapatite + calcium (cerament bone void filler) and the prosthesis head was changed.
