Abstract:
In 1971, Harris introduced a metal backed acetabular cup to allow replacement of worn polyethylene cups and it has been popularly used now. In metal backed acetabular cup, dissociation between metal shell and polyethylene liner usually occurs with hip dislocation. We report a case of dissociation of polyethylene liner in metal bacded cup not associated with hip dislocation.
