Abstract

A 62-year-old woman with osteoarthritis presents with a 7-month history of progressively worsening left hip pain radiating to the groin, 8 months after undergoing total left-hip arthroplasty. Physical examination reveals a sinus tract overlying her left hip. A radiograph shows loosening of the prosthesis at the bone–cement interface. How should her case be managed?
