Complication after total hip replacement implantation. Loosening of the acetabular prosthetic component (lucent band at the bone-prosthesis interface) and, in this band, granulomatous appearance due to polyethylene debris. The wearing of acetabular component in polyethylene is confirmed by the superolateral displacement and eccentricity of the prosthetic head in the acetabulum. X-ray of the right hip in a 68-year-old male patient.
