    We examined 59 cemented high density polyethylene sockets removed at revision hip arthroplasty. Of these 19 showed areas of wear between the outside of the socket and the acetabular bone. This was associated with lack of acrylic cement in those areas and was also related to the depth of the wear on the articulating surface of the socket. It is suggested that, in some cases, changes at the bone-cement junction are secondary to socket loosening and abrasion against the bone of the acetabulum, rather than to particles migrating from the metal-polyethylene interface. It is therefore important that impingement of the neck of the femoral stem on the edge of the cup be avoided and that, when the socket is inserted, it is not in direct contact with the bone.
