Abstract
The case of an 80-year-old woman who sustained occlusion of the external iliac vein by methyl methacrylate cement following total hip arthroplasty is presented. The cement was removed via a pelvic approach without the need for revision of the acetabular cup and led to resolution of her symptoms.
