چکیده

INTRODUCTION The removal of a well-fixed acetabular component in a total hip arthroplasty can cause bone fractures, excessive bleeding, as well as extended bone loss. The reimplantation of a new acetabular component may be compromised. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a technique using 2 cork-screws for removal a stable cemented acetabular component for the treatment of a recurrent dislocation of a cemented total hip arthroplasty, due to acetabular malposition. DISCUSSION A diversity of approaches and tools has been used for extraction of the acetabular prosthesis. Using 2 cork-screws it is possible to create fissures and fractures into the cement mantle, and greater manual control is obtained facilitating the manipulation of the acetabular component in different directions. The cup-cemented bond can be disrupted, the host bone is preserved and the risks of complications are minimized. CONCLUSION This technique is simple, available in any environment, reproducible, non-costly, non-timing consuming and safe.

Hip 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...

Treatment of Bilateral Recurrent Dislocation of Hip Pros-thesis with Malpositioned Well-Fixed Shell: A Case Report

Dislocations of total hip prostheses cause pain and patient dissatisfaction. Recurrent dislocations are difficult to treat mainly when the acetabular metal shell is well-fixed. The purpose of this article was to describe the surgical technique used for the treatment of a bilateral recurrent posterior dislocation after a cementless total hip prosthesis, caused by excessive inclination of acetabu...

Catastrophic Failure of the Acetabular Polyethylene Liner in Ceramic-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty

INTRODUCTION Catastrophic polyethylene failure is a rare complication of ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty due to the favorable tribological characteristics of ceramic. Failure of the polyethylene liner can be disastrous, increasing periprosthetic osteolysis, metallosis, and risk of dislocation. Complications associated with ceramic-on-polyethylene articulations have been studied e...

Cementation of a dual-mobility acetabular component into a well-fixed metal shell during revision total hip arthroplasty: a biomechanical validation.

Cementation of polyethylene (PE) liners into well-fixed metal shells has become a popular option during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) particularly for older and frail patients. Although dramatic results were reported with dual-mobility acetabular components to manage hip instability during revision THA, no study evaluated the fixation strength of the cementation of dual-mobility compone...

Dissociation of Polyethylene Liner of the Dual Mobility Acetabular Component after Closed Reduction of Dislocation: A Case Report

A dual mobility acetabular component has a structure that combines a polyethylene liner and a femoral head, unlike the general design of acetabular cups, making the dissociation of a polyethylene liner highly unlikely. In addition, it increases the range of motion and reduces the possibility of dislocations by increasing a jump distance. A fifty-one-year-old male who had received total hip arth...
