Abstract
Removal of an acetabular prosthesis that has migrated into the pelvis can be hazardous. We describe the preoperative planning and the surgical procedure for removing a severely displaced acetabular component in one patient and outline our recommendation for the use of Stoppa approach because it has advantages of simple dissection, a low complication rate, and may help in preventing life-threatening problems.
