Abstract
Displacement of the polished stem of a total hip arthroplasty from its cemented mantle occurred as a complication of an attempted closed reduction after luxation. No cement fractures were seen during subsequent reoperation. The complication can be avoided if cement is placed over the shoulder of the prosthesis.
