Abstract
An 80-year-old woman received a cemented total hip arthroplasty. The surgery was performed without intraoperative complications. Postoperative radiographs and a computed tomography scan revealed a nutrient vein perforating the femur, which was retrogradely filled with cement. An abdominal and thoracic computed tomography scan showed no further dissemination of cement.
