Case:
A 70-year-old man with a year-long history of arthritic pain in his left hip presented to our clinic. He had a left intertrochanteric hip fracture 6 years ago, fixed with an open reduction internal fixation with a cephalomedullary nail. He underwent a conversion Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) with removal of the proximal helicoidal blade and retention of the intramedullary nail. At 7-year follow-up, the patient reported satisfactory clinical outcomes and excellent radiographic fixation.
Conclusion:
This case highlights using conversion BHR in patients with post-traumatic arthritis with retained femoral hardware as an alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty.
