The patient is a 79-year-old female with a 5 year history of R>L hip pain. She had anterior hip replacements done elsewhere about 10 years ago. Her gradual right hip pain has worsened over the past year. She now has sharp pain in the groin and at the side of the hip. She also has a worsening limp and depends on a cane for ambulation. She has tried injections, physical therapy, and requires norco for pain control. She has failed these nonoperative treatments, and is referred for revision consultation.

She supposed to undergo with an uneventful postoperative course. Her limp is mildly improve, but she understands that her abductor deficiency will persist because of the damage to her trochanter and abductors. She will get relief to have the source of her corrosion resolve, and to be able to now maximize her outcome with therapy. She is supposed to have scheduled for revision of her opposite left metal-on-metal hip replacement, which has a less severe case of corrosion.
