Intraarticular trochanteric wire migration following bilateral total hip arthroplasty. A case report.
A 64-year-old man underwent bilateral simultaneous total hip replacement and experienced articular interposition of a wire fragment in the right hip joint 3 years postoperatively. Because of destructive wear of the acetabulum, this eventually required revision total hip arthroplasty 12 years after the original surgery.
