A technique for removing an intrapelvic acetabular cup

Abstract

We describe a simple, retroperitoneal approach for the removal of acetabular components that have migrated into the pelvis. The dense fibrous tissue layer which surrounds the implant protects the iliac vessels during removal of the cup by this method.
