Abstract

Acetabular extrusion of cement during total hip arthroplasty is a well-recognised occurrence. We report a case of femoral neuropathy secondary to an extruded cement mass nine years after primary cemented total hip arthroplasty. Removal of the cement resulted in resolution of the patients symptoms. (Hip International 2005; 15: 182-3).
