A 69-year-old man with a total hip prosthesis, recurrent infection, and intrapelvic incarceration of the acetabular components required extraction of a long-stem total hip prosthesis through three incisions. Retroperitoneal intrapelvic extraction of the incarcerated prosthesis was necessary. This approach allowed removal of intrapelvically migrated components and the eradication of the infection. The patient had no signs of infection five years postoperatively.
