English translation:aseptic loosening of the femoral component
Explanation:
The reference provides you with a nice overview of total hip replacement arthroplasty.
A total hip prosthesis consists of two major components: Pfanne - acetabular component; Schaft - femoral component.
The components themselves may be subcomponents as well, e.g. acetabular inlay etc.
The only other aspect you have to consider is whether you are dealing with a cemented or press-fit design.
