A Case Report-Neck fracture of a cemented stainless-steel femoral modular stem, 8 years after Total Hip Arthroplasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total Hip Replacement is a method of prosthetic reconstruction of the acetabulum and proximal femur following hip joint destruction. Prosthetic fractures have been reported after primary surgery ; with majority of them at the prosthetic stem. Few had fracture through neck of prosthetic stem. Here, we report a rare case of fracture neck of prosthetic stem within 10 year of implantation in a patient with high Body Mass Index (BMI) and stressful daily activities. Keyword : Total Hip Replacement, Prosthetic Fracture, Fatigue Fracture.

Stem fracture of a collarless, polished, double-taper cemented femoral prosthesis: a case report.
We report a case of stem fracture of a collarless, polished, double-taper cemented stainless steel femoral prosthesis. Scanning electron microscopy showed fatigue striations, indicating failure by fatigue. This case study highlights that stem fracture can still occur with modern implants. Size 0 CPT stem should be avoided in patients with high body mass index. To our knowledge this is the first...
متن کاملCementless Total Hip Arthroplasty After an Iatrogenic Subtrochanteric Fracture due to Hardware Removal: A Case Report
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed using a blade plate in the same femur 41 years ago. A two-step approach was planned. After a challenging...

We report a case of a 63-year-old man who presented an end stage hip osteoarthritis 42 years after a proximal femoral osteotomy performed for the treatment of an intracapsular femoral neck fracture. A cemented total hip arthroplasty was implanted using a standard posterior approach. The osteotomy hardware was totally covered with a new cortical bone formation. A layer of bone tissue was removed...
متن کاملFemoral prosthesis neck fracture following total hip arthroplasty: a case report.
Fracture of the femoral prosthesis neck following total hip arthroplasty is not common. We report a case of femoral prosthesis neck fracture in an adult male patient following modular, uncemented total hip arthroplasty. This case report further emphasizes the importance of the potentially high loading situation in the prosthetic femoral neck. On the other hand, the occurrence of a femoral prost...
متن کاملHip Arthroplasty and its Revision in a Child: Case Report and Literature Review
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the leading cause of hip replacement in young children. However, arthroplasty in this population is challenging with several concerns about quality of the growing bone, young age for revision surgery, and difficulties in potential several revisions. In this study we introduce a case of a 12-year old who is one of the youngest patients to undergo revision hip art...
