Radiographs demonstrated that the implant was still dislocated at the time of presentation and that there was shell loosening (Figure 2D).

Diffused-light macroscopic images of the five femoral heads showing extensive bearing-foreign material deposits. The circles in the middle of images of heads A, B, C, and E delimit the reflection of the camera lens, which was eliminated by digital combination of photographs. The cross-mark (+) in each image identifies a corresponding site of SEM-based morphologic characterization in Figure 4, and the asterisks (*) designate the sites of EDS evaluation in Figure 5.

True elemental compositional measurements were performed on a 1 x 1 mm area (marked with an asterisk in Figure 1) of the deposition observed on head A, in an ultrahigh vacuum environment (1.2 x 10-7 Pa) using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with a monochromatic Al K-alpha source (H v = 1486.6 eV).
