Acetabular erosion and the Monk "hard top" hip prosthesis

R L Leyshon et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1984 Mar.

Abstract

Nine cases of acetabular erosion following insertion of the Monk "hard top" hip prosthesis for subcapital fractures are presented. All of these patients had significant symptoms and represented 5% of the total group. In our experience acetabular erosion has proved to be a significant complication of the Monk "hard top" prosthesis.
