Following total hip arthroplasty, pain can occur for a variety of reasons even if the patient has experienced years free of any discomfort. The cause of this pain is often difficult to identify. In the following, a case is described in which the diagnosis of trunnionosis could be made using a new method of graphic visualisation of cell count analysis of an aspirate and the otherwise misinterpretation of a periprosthetic infection with its therapy-related consequences could be avoided.
