Journal of Medical Case Reports / Surjit Lidder, Vijai S Ranawat, Nitran S Ranawat and Tudor L Thomas
Summary points:
A 60-year-old man who underwent a right total hip replacement presents 8 years later complaining of pain in the left groin. Physical examination, medical history, radiographs of the pelvis, and post-operative outcomes are described; images provided. The authors discuss an unusual case of a long-standing, but asymptomatic, dislocated total hip replacement presenting years after initial surgery and suggest that regular review with radiographic follow-up should be made after surgery.
