A patient with aseptic loosening of the left hip prosthesis had undergone primary total hip arthroplasty one year prior. An uncemented acetabular component and cemented femoral component were implanted. a Before the first revision, an aseptic loosening of the prosthesis could be found. b Immediately after the first revision, a periprosthetic femoral fracture could be identified.
