AT FIRST THE NOISE WAS INTERMITTENT, BUT HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND HAS BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS.

UPDATE BASED ON MEDICAL REVIEW 11 APRIL 2019: CUP MALPOSITION IN EXCESSIVE ANTEVERSION AS WELL AS SUPERFICIAL POSITION HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IMPINGEMENT BETWEEN STEM NECK AND CUP SHELL POSTERIOR IN THE JOINT WITH SECONDARY DISPLACEMENT OF THE MDM POLY CAP ALLOWING METAL-METAL CONTACT BETWEEN DEVICES TO CAUSE A SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE ARTHROPLASTY.
