Fracture of the cemented femoral component following hemiarthroplasty in physically active patient: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Fracture of the femoral stem following hip arthroplasty has become very rare since the developments in modern prosthetic designs. Prevention by identifying the risk factors is the best way to overcome these complex problems, as treatment is difficult. CASE REPORT Femoral component fracture after cemented hemiarthroplasty in a physically active 64-year-old, male patient is reported in this present article. CONCLUSION The present case emphasizes the importance of preserving the joint after hip fracture and avoidance of using mono block prosthesis in younger patients. If the patient is physically active, he/she should be advised to limit her/his daily activities to moderate intensity after hemiarthroplasty surgery.

Background: Femoral stem anteversion during hip arthroplasty is generally estimated by eye intraoperatively and hasproven to be different from targeted values. This study aims to determine the accuracy of a novel technique using adigital protractor and a spirit level to improve surgeons’ estimation of stem anteversion.Methods: A prospective non-randomized study was conducted a...
متن کاملTechniques in Cementation for Hip Hemiarthroplasty
Hip fractures in the elderly population remain a significant public health concern. With a rise in the incidence of osteoporosis, orthopaedic surgeons must be familiar with different fixation options in both trauma and arthroplasty to minimize complications and implant failure following treatment of femoral neck fractures. Cemented hip hemiarthroplasty is a reliable method for restoring functio...

Postoperative acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) was a well-known abdominal complication of general surgery [1-3], but in orthopedic surgery only sporadic case reports could be retrieved [4-7]. Postoperative AAC was unrelated to the biliary tract, which was characterized by gallbladder inflammation without evidence of calculi or sludge [8]. Once postoperative AAC occurs, the disease progresse...
متن کاملA 42-year-old patient presenting with femoral head migration after hemiarthroplasty performed 22 years earlier: a case report
INTRODUCTION Treatment of femoral neck fractures in young adults may require total hip arthroplasty or hip hemiarthroplasty using a bipolar cup. The latter can, however, result in migration of the femoral head and poor long-term results. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of femoral head migration after hemiarthroplasty performed for femoral neck fracture that had occurred 22 years earlier, w...
متن کاملTotal Hip Arthroplasty in a Girdlestone Hip following a Failed Hemiarthroplasty
INTRODUCTION Girdlestone hip arthroplasty, though described as a salvage procedure for infected hip joints, can also be considered for failed Hemiarthroplasty procedures. The functional results of such Girdlestone hip may not be satisfactory. They may require total hip replacement to improve the quality of life, which are technically challenging. Here we are reporting such a case ina 60 year ol...
