Early postoperative loosening of acetabular component presenting as dislocation of total hip replacement

We report a rare case of acetabular component loosening presenting as a dislocation of the hip within 10 days of the initial surgery, which we attribute to debonding of the acetabular component. That has been reported in femoral component but not in acetabular component, though, it is theoretically possible. The revision of the acetabular component in the patient in the second operation settled the problem and the patient had normal recovery at the follow up without any further dislocations. This significant complication needs to be further highlighted in literature.
