It is not uncommon to observe bone cement in the pelvis on radiographs after total hip replacement, a finding which is generally considered to be benign. This paper reviews some catastrophic late complications from intrapelvic methylmethacrylate. We also describe a case of progressive, unbearable dyspareunia beginning three years after total hip replacement. A possible explanation of the pathophysiology is suggested. Recommendations for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these late complications are offered.
