Abstract
The causes of groin pain after total hip arthroplasty are numerous, and the condition itself is disabling. Therefore, it is imperative that the cause of the pain is identified and managed appropriately. We report a case where the patient had groin pain after total hip arthroplasty as a result of an oversized cementless acetabular component, which caused a breach in the anterior wall of the acetabulum. The anterior wall of the acetabulum was reconstructed with femoral head allograft, and the patient has been symptom free since.
