Background

One of the potential complications of polyethylene liner (PL) is its dissociation from the metal shell. This is a rare but catastrophic complication of total hip replacement (THR).

Objective

was to analyze the retrieved dissociated components (PL and shell) (Depuy Pinnacle, Warsaw, IN, USA) to evaluate the mechanism of failure. All these components were dissociated within four years of implantation.
