DP 55 years old gentleman presented with pain and limp right lower limb. He had partial replacement for fracture neck of femur. He had to undergo Total Hip Replacement in 2000 because of progressive pain. Patient started to develop severe pain in the right hip for last 4 yrs. We did Re- Revision Total Hip Replacement with special implant (Continum cup for acetabulum and Wagner stem for femur).
