Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty After an Iatrogenic Subtrochanteric Fracture due to Hardware Removal: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
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 hardware removal, an iatrogenic subtrochanteric fracture below the degenerated hip occurred after three months. THA with a tapered long stem was successfully performed with no need for additional osteosynthesis, and good results were seen two years later. Discussion: THAs in subtrochanteric fractures are technically demanding but feasible in selected cases. Hardware removal before THA implantation may carry important risks, and the surgical team should be prepared to perform arthroplasty in case of complications. Conclusion: THA in a subtrochanteric fracture below hip osteoarthritis is a feasible option in selected cases.

Total Hip Arthroplasty after Treatment of an Atypical Subtrochanteric Femoral Fracture in a Patient with Pycnodysostosis
The authors describe the case of a 51-year-old woman with an osteonecrosis of her right femoral head after treatment of an atypical subtrochanteric fracture caused by pycnodysostosis. She had this fracture after a low-trauma fall. She was of short stature with typical facial features, short stubby hands, and radiological features including open cranial sutures, obtuse mandible, and generalized ...

Copyright c 2012 by Korean Hip Society 245 Periprosthetic femoral fracture is a problematic complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although treatment protocols for periprosthetic femoral fracture have been reported, treatment protocols for periprosthetic fracture with accompanying infection have rarely been published. When these two complications occur together, it becomes more difficult...

My interest in cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty began in 1993 when I was introduced to the experimental PCA-Howmedica system while visiting Dave De Young at NCSU Veterinary College. After previous experience with cemented prostheses, I was looking for a commercially available cementless system to eliminate the complications I had encountered with cemented hips, mainly aseptic implant loosening...

Introduction The utilization of hip arthrodesis for the treatment of end-stage hip degenerative joint disease has significantly declined due to the success of total hip arthroplasty. In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that over 332,000 THA procedures were performed in the United States alone. Although fewer patients are undergoing primary hip fusion, patients that have prev...

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy is widely performed for high hip dislocation. However, suboptimal leg length discrepancy correction and nonunion of the osteotomy site remain concerns. Although total hip arthroplasty using trochanteric osteotomy without subtrochanteric osteotomy was introduced, cemented implants have been more commonly used than contem...

Treatment methods for delayed union and nonunion of atypical femoral fracture are still controversial. Moreover, no treatment method has been established for implant rupture caused by delayed union and nonunion. We encountered a 74-year-old female in whom nonunion-induced implant rupture occurred after treatment of atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture with internal fixation using a long fe...
