Intriguing Periprosthetic Fracture of Hip Stem and Proximal Femoral Replacement

Abstract: Lateral femoral prosthesis perforation is an uncommon periprosthetic fracture. Periprosthetic fractures may be fixed with open reduction and internal fixation, or with revision arthroplasty, depending on the type of fracture, the condition of the host bone in the proximal femur, the stability of the implant, and occasionally the medical co-morbidities of the patient. Proximal femoral replacement is a complex and challenging procedure but provides a better chance of early mobilisation. We describe a case of tre… Show more

“…Total hip replacement is the surgical treatment that most reliably achieves pain relief and provides prompt functional return with a single procedure [ 21 - 22 ]. Patients with ON had a significantly higher dislocation rate than did patients with osteoarthritis because ON patients usually have a better preoperative range of motion compared with a patient with long-standing osteoarthritis.…”

“…Developmental hip dysplasia is the most common cause of secondary osteoarthritis of the hip especially in the younger age group [ 3 ]. There are anatomical abnormalities both in the acetabulum and femur depending on the severity of the dysplasia [ 4 - 5 ]. The common challenges encountered in dysplastic hip replacement include [ 6 ]:…”
