    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT PRESENTED TO THE SURGEON WITH PAIN AND CLICKING IN HER HIP. ON X-RAY, IT APPEARED THAT THE POLY HAD WORN THRU. KNOWING IT HAD ONLY BEEN IN 1.5 YEARS, THIS WAS LIKELY NOT THE CASE. THE PATIENT HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF A TRAUMATIC EVENT, NEVERTHELESS THE SURGEON SUSPECTED THAT THE LINER SPUN OUT AT ONE POINT. UPON EXAMINATION IN THE OR, THE METAL HEAD HAD INDEED BEEN ARTICULATING ON THE METAL SHELL AND WORN DOWN THE METAL ON THE RIM OF THE SHELL.
