Xu H, Wang L, Zhu X, Zhang H. Fracture in the middle of the femoral stem and relevant treatment after the revision total hip arthroplasty: A case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2022;13(2):45–49.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains one of the most effective treatments for grievous hip joint diseases. However, with an increase in the number of operations, the incidence of related complications has also increased dramatically. Prosthetic failure is a relatively rare but extremely serious complication. Reports related to this type of complication and the corresponding treatment are rare.
Case Report: Here we report the case of a 63-year-old man, who complained of sudden pain in the right lower limb thigh and was subjected to stem failure without obvious inducement after revision total hip arthroplasty. The patient was discharged from the hospital after undergoing relevant revision surgery, and was satisfied with the recovery at the 1-year follow-up.
Conclusion: Combining this report with previous literatures, it was not difficult to find that there were many reasons for prosthesis fracture. Therefore, prevention of this kind of complication should be considered in many aspects, to avoid the occurrence of this kind of situation to the greatest extent and improve the effect of surgery.
Keywords: Fracture, Prothesis, Revision, Total hip arthroplasty (THA)
