Abstract
Nine cases of acetabular erosion following insertion of the Monk "hard top" hip prosthesis for subcapital fractures are presented. All of these patients had significant symptoms and represented 5% of the total group. In our experience acetabular erosion has proved to be a significant complication of the Monk "hard top" prosthesis.Keywords
