Question
A total hip replacement consisting of a 28 mm diameter Co-Cr femoral head articulating
against a UHMWPE cup functions in a patient for 5 years before it is removed during revision arthroplasty. You perform a detailed analysis of the
explanted cup. The articular surface of the explanted UHMWPE cup shows a change in geometry such that the cup is 0.75 mm deeper (see photo).
