Complete displacement of the femoral stem during dislocation of a THR

Dislocation is a common complication of total hip replacement, which has been quoted in the literature as having an incidence of 1–4%. This is commonly treated with closed reduction. The authors present a case report of displacement of a cemented smooth-polished tapered femoral stem, which occurred while attempting closed reduction of a dislocated hybrid total hip replacement. The patient required full revision arthroplasty.

Complete displacement of the femoral stem during dislocation of a THR

Abstract: We report an unusual complication of late dislocation of a total hip replacement. The femoral stem had completely migrated from the shaft. The insertion of a new long-stem prosthesis was successful.
