Abstract
A case of osteopetrosis in a 45-year-old patient that consulted by pain in the right hip is presented. He was diagnosed of degenerative osteoarthritis of the right hip secondary to osteopetrosis. He was managed surgically by a cementless total hip arthroplasty. This mentioned operation presented intra-operative and post-operative complications that were treated by means of a replacement of the femoral component of the arthroplasty. After the revision, the evolution has been satisfactory, with a correct clinical situation of the patient after 5 years of follow-up.
