Metallosis after Exchange of the Femoral Head and Liner following Ceramic Acetabular Liner Dissociation in Total Hip Arthroplasty with a Modular Layered Acetabular Component

<div>A postoperative anteroposterior radiographic image showing primary THA with alumina-on-alumina bearings on the right side for the treatment of secondary osteoarthritis due to developmental dysplasia of the hip (a). A plain radiograph and a computed tomography (CT) image, obtained 10 years after primary THA, showing the liner’s dissociation from the metal shell along with retroacetabular osteolysis (white arrows) (b and c).</div>
