Popis: In eight patients, radiographs made after total hip replacement revealed methylmethacrylate in the soft tissues of the thigh. In one of them the configuration of the density was that of a vein. In the other seven patients similar but less extensive soft-tissue densities were seen postoperatively. One patient had postoperative hypotension which was thought to be due to a myocardial infarction. In another patient, with a prior history of congestive heart failure, congestive heart failure developed again after total hip replacement. The relationship of these complications to the radiographic observations was not clear.
