Fracture of the Neck of a Modern Cementless, Titanium Femoral Stem
Intraprosthetic fracture of a femoral component is a rare but devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We present the case of a 68-year-old man who presented with acute hip pain approximately 8 years after a left THA with a modern cementless, titanium femoral component. Radiograp...

| description | Intraprosthetic fracture of a femoral component is a rare but devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We present the case of a 68-year-old man who presented with acute hip pain approximately 8 years after a left THA with a modern cementless, titanium femoral component. Radiographs revealed a fracture of the midportion of the neck of the stem, below the level of the trunnion. The patient underwent an isolated 1-component revision THA with a modular exchange. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of a catastrophic failure fracture of this particular prosthesis. |
