Abstract
Ceramic debris embedded in a polyethylene liner was identified as the cause for rapid metal wear after revision total hip arthroplasty when a broken ceramic head was replaced by a metal head. Removal of an intrapelvic foreign body granuloma and rerevision hip arthroplasty had to be performed within 2 years after the first revision.
