Abstract:
The aim of the study was to present a rear complication of total hip replacement, with is a breakage of prosthesis steam and the following treatment. Two cases of Mittelmeier steam breakage were presented--10 and 15 years after operation. In both cases the indication for primary surgery was dysplastic coxarthrosis. Both patients underwent revision hip arthroplasty with prosthesis steam reimplantation. Follow-up performed every year is a well accepted way of early detection of late complications. Hip revisions arthroplasties should be performed in a specialized hospitals having adequate implants and instrumentation. For revision of broken steam of prosthesis the transfemoral approach is the method of choice together with long, revision femoral implants having its fit in femoral shaft.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
