Abstract
An inguinal arthrosynovial cyst of the hip joint developed after total hip arthroplasty leading to compression of the femoral vein. This complication occurred after implantation of a non-cemented prosthesis with a ceramic-on-ceramic interface inserted in a polyethylene sandwich. Multiple foreign bodies composed of both ceramic and polyethylene particles were visualized microscopically. Later, rupture of the joint interface required implant replacement. This cyst was a precursor sign of a deteriorating prosthesis surface.
