Osteolysis of the left femoral calcar with total hip replacements - no evidence of loosening.
Case Discussion
Stress shielding occasionally occurs following hip replacement surgery when the entire weight-bearing load is borne by the non-calcar regions of the femur.
No stress on calcar so resorption occurs. Considered a normal finding of no clinical significance.
