Traumatic Ceramic Femoral Head Fracture: An Initial Misdiagnosis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ceramic heads are widely used in modern total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although a rare complication, fractures of ceramic heads are described in the literature, evoking uncertainties regarding the in vivo stability of this material, especially when impaction of a fractured ceramic head can lead to disastrous results. METHODS In this case report, we present a fracture of ...
متن کاملTraumatic Hip Dislocation with Associated Femoral Head Fracture
Dislocation of the hip is a critical injury that results from high-energy trauma. This paper describes a case of posterior dislocation of the right hip in a 35-year-old woman with associated ipsilateral femoral head fracture. Initial treatment included reduction of the right hip through posterior approach and fixation of the femoral head fracture with three absorbable screws. After 15-month fol...
متن کاملRare non-traumatic periprosthetic femoral fracture with features of an atypical femoral fracture: a case report
INTRODUCTION Atypical femoral fractures have emerged as one of the potential complications of bisphosphonates during the past decade. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research published a Task Force report on atypical femoral fractures in 2010 and a second report in 2014. Although the current definition of atypical femoral fractures in these reports excludes periprosthetic fractures, e...
متن کاملCeramic Head Fracture in Ceramic-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty
Revision rates of total hip arthroplasty have decreased after introducing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using ceramic component, since ceramic components could reduce components wear and osteolysis. The fracture of a ceramic component is a rare but potentially serious event. Thus, ceramic on polyethylene articulation is gradually spotlighted to reduce ceramic component fracture. There are a few ...
متن کاملFracture of a Y-TZP ceramic femoral head. Analysis of a fault.
We studied factors contributing to the initiation of fracture and failure of a zirconia ceramic femoral head. The materials retrieved during a revision total hip replacement were submitted to either visual, stereomicroscopic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or SEM and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. X-ray diffraction was performed in order to investigate the extent of tetragonal to mono...
