title: Hip socket wear due to component mismatch. A case report.
abstract: A total hip replacement with loosening of the femoral component was revised. The original femoral component with a 35-mm head was exchanged for one with a 32-mm head. The mismatch caused extensive wear of the acetabular component. The importance of preoperative planning in revision surgery is stressed.
