Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty After an Iatrogenic Subtrochanteric Fracture due to Hardware Removal: A Case Report
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed using a blade plate in the same femur 41 years ago. A two-step approach was planned. After a challenging...
متن کاملBilateral Simultaneous Femoral Neck and Shafts Fractures – A Case Report
Simultaneous fractures of the femoral neck and shaft are not common injuries, though they cannot be considered rare. Herein, we report our experience with a patient with bilateral occurance of this injury. Up to the best of our knowkedge this is the first case reported in literature in which correct diagnosis was made initially. Both femurs were fixed using broad 4.5 mm dynamic compression pl...
متن کاملOperative fixation of a subtrochanteric fracture in a patient with previous spontaneous hip fusion.
Patients with a fused hip can present with various clinical problems, such as contralateral hip arthritis, ipsilateral knee arthritis and degenerative disc disease. There are significant deforming forces at the proximal femur in patients with a fused hip who have ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures. We report a 66-year-old patient with a spontaneously fused right hip, who sustained an ipsilat...
متن کاملPatellar tendon ossification after retrograde intramedullary nailing for distal femoral shaft fracture
RATIONALE Retrograde femoral nailing was one of the most important treatment means for distal femoral shaft fracture. However, studies regarding heterotopic ossification of the patellar tendon after retrograde intramedullary nailing for distal femoral shaft fracture are limited. We herein present a rare complication, namely heterotopic ossification of the patellar tendon, after retrograde intra...
متن کاملFemoral prosthesis neck fracture following total hip arthroplasty: a case report.
Fracture of the femoral prosthesis neck following total hip arthroplasty is not common. We report a case of femoral prosthesis neck fracture in an adult male patient following modular, uncemented total hip arthroplasty. This case report further emphasizes the importance of the potentially high loading situation in the prosthetic femoral neck. On the other hand, the occurrence of a femoral prost...
