It was reported following a hip revision surgery, during which a thin membrane-like structure was observed between the metal component and the plastic liner.This structure was suspected to have detached from the surface of the metal component, though inspection revealed the inner surface and locking mechanism of the metal component appeared intact, and the component was not replaced.The patient underwent revision surgery due to a pseudotumor and recovered without complications.The pain symptoms and need for revision were interpreted as unrelated to the membrane-like change observed during the procedure.The acetabular cup was explanted and destroyed and is not available for return.Other components involved in the primary surgery included summit por taper sz3 std off, articul/eze ball 32 +9 bl, and altrx +4 10d 32idx48od, all of which were also explanted and destroyed.
