Early fracture of the modular neck of a MODULUS femoral stem
We present the case of a 46-year-old woman who underwent revision surgery approximately 4 years after total hip arthroplasty because of a fracture of the modular neck of a MODULUS femoral stem. The fractured surfaces of the retrieved implant were inspected using optical and scanning electron microscopy. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also performed to identify the stresses that m...
متن کاملFracture of Revision Modular Femoral Stem
The number of revision total hip arthroplasties is predicted to more than double in USA over the next 25 years from an estimated 40800 in 2005 to approximately 96700 in 2030 [1]. Modular femoral stems offer the advantage of adjustment and restoration of joint kinematics including leg length, femoral version and offset, regardless of the exact position of the distal part of the stem [2]. Disadva...
متن کاملIntrapelvic Protrusion of a Broken Guide Wire Fragment during Fixation of a Femoral Neck Fracture
Breakage of DHS guide wire during surgery and its migration into the pelvis through the hip joint is a rare complication and its removal can be very challenging for the surgeon. We share our experience of a similar case wherein we used an ‘iliofemoral’ approach to successfully remove the broken transfixing guidewire from the hip joint. Although iliofemoral approach is similar to the lateral win...
متن کاملIntrapelvic Protrusion of a Broken Guide Wire Fragment during Fixation of a Femoral Neck Fracture
During fixation of a femoral neck fracture in a 23-year-old male patient with cannulated screws, a broken guide wire fragment inadvertently advanced through the hip joint and protruded into the pelvis. A second surgical approach was needed to remove the broken fragment from the pelvis. Awareness of such a potentially devastating complication will make surgeons more cautious during implementa...
متن کاملEarly prediction of femoral head avascular necrosis following neck fracture.
Femoral neck fracture puts at risk functional prognosis in young patients and can be life-threatening in the elderly. The present study reviews methods of femoral head vascularity assessment following neck fracture, to address the following issues: what is the risk of osteonecrosis? And what, in the light of this risk, is the best-adapted treatment to avoid iterative surgery? Femoral head vascu...
