Dissociation of a Bipolar Prosthesis after Right Hip Hemiarthroplasty

Abstract: IntroductionWe report the case of an 84-year-old woman with a dissociated bipolar component of her right hip hemiarthroplasty. Dissociation of components is a rare but increasingly recognized consequence of modular componentry. Radiologists should be aware of the distinction between dislocation of a prosthesis and dissociation of its bipolar components, and be able to describe these complications accurately in their interpretations.

“…-Joint instability (dislocated and semi-dislocated). According to other authors, this complication rate of BH is about 1.2% -3.4% [18]. There are many causes of dislocations such as soft tissue imbalance, stem looseness, uneven limbs, too large or too small head compared to acetabulum, worn acetabulum, worn Polyethylene lining, the stem stuck in the head, and especially the patient performed bad postures, etc.…”

“…[5] Bipolar cup dissociation is a rare complication, and only a few case reports have been published. [1][2][3][6][7][8] Although the patient characteristics and instruments used are different, an inherent factor of the modular system of the bipolar cup and femoral head is a possibility of bipolar cup dissociation.…”

“…Bipolar cup dissociation is a rare but potentially serious complication following hip hemiarthroplasty. [ 1 , 2 ] Although the articulation of bipolar cup and femoral head component is locked and strong, bipolar cup dissociation may occur, which requires revision surgery because closed reduction is impossible. [ 3 ] Unlike late bipolar cup dissociation, which occurs following wear and breakage of internal structures, such as the locking ring or liner, early bipolar cup dissociation occurs during closed reduction maneuver.…”

“…Dissociation is rare and corresponding reasons have been reported in only a few case reports. [17][18][19] The most common causes were "bottle-opener mechanism" during closed reduction and failure of the polyethylene locking ring. According to the component size, Li et al 16 reported a rate of 0.9% (four of 424) patients experiencing dissociations after HA.…”

“…We found little information regarding this rare and severe complication except a few case reports. [17][18][19] In this study, we aimed to investigate risk factors that may cause dislocation and dissociation following a bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fracture by evaluating the morphological features in addition to the patient characteristics. Further, the risk factors determined by multivariable analysis were also discussed according to the morphometric differences between dislocated and matched control patients.…”
