it could be many things causing the pain. when joint implants cause pain a xray or MRI could be the answer? joint replacements with cement can be a issues. many joint replacements today do not use cement due to that reason of loosening, infections, separation's etc. Sadly you may require a revision.
a study from pud med . A total of 54 TEA cases were included. Forty percent of ulnar and 24% of humeral mantles were classified as short (between 1 and 19 mm). According to the Morrey classification, 6 (11%) cases had an inadequate cement mantle Twenty-four (45%) cases had radiographic evidence of loosening at 1 year.
