Recurrent implant fractures in total hip arthroplasty: a yes-you-yan case report
Acta Orthopaedica Belgica
|April 26, 2024
Abstract:
This case report describes a single patient with recurrent implant fractures of his left total hip replacement. According to our knowledge this is the first patient in literature with recurrent implant fractures. This is a rare phenomenon as reason for revision. Risk factors for implant failure of total hip replacement include a lack of proximal support, a distally well fixed stem with proximal debonding, malalignment of the stem and raised BMI.
