A femoral broach fractured during total hip arthroplasty (THA). A minimally invasive technique using a cortical window and nail extractor successfully removed the fractured broach without complications.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Accurate femoral component positioning is crucial for cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) to restore joint biomechanics.
- Achieving a press fit between the implant and the proximal femur is essential for stability.
