Incorrect acetabular cup positioning in a MoM THA: an announced failure with growth of bulky pseudotumour. A case report
The precise acetabular cup positioning in MoM hip prosthesis geometry is essential in preventing functional overloading, release of metal ions and adverse tissue reactions. When evaluating patients with metal-on-metal hip prostheses, it is necessary to consider the orientation of the cup as a predictive factor for failure and wear of the components.
