Intriguing Periprosthetic Fracture of Hip Stem and Proximal Femoral Replacement.
Curēus 2018 April 18
Lateral femoral prosthesis perforation is an uncommon periprosthetic fracture. Periprosthetic fractures may be fixed with open reduction and internal fixation, or with revision arthroplasty, depending on the type of fracture, the condition of the host bone in the proximal femur, the stability of the implant, and occasionally the medical co-morbidities of the patient. Proximal femoral replacement is a complex and challenging procedure but provides a better chance of early mobilisation. We describe a case of treating a 71-year-old woman who presented with an unusual type of periprosthetic fracture, treated with a revision arthroplasty procedure using a proximal femur replacement.
