DISCUSSION Damage of the trunnion can lead to accelerated wear and early failure of the retained hip. David et al have described a technique wherein they used barrel of the syringe to protect the trunnion. This barrel can move and the inelastic hard consistency can damage the trunnion. There is no other recommended technique in the literature. Our technique is simple, safe and effective. As the Foley’s sleeve is made of silicone elastomer, it conforms to the shape of trunnion and securely grips it. This prevents dislodgement of the sleeve. It occupies less space, thus making exposure easier.
