Treatment of Primary Hip Arthroplasty Complications. Case Study
Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 5
Abstract
Intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture during hip arthroplasty is one of the most serious surgical complications. Its consequences can be minimized with correct diagnosis and early institution of appropriate treatment. This paper presents the management of a periprosthetic femoral fracture complicated by infection in a 53-year-old female patient. The patient underwent three revision surgeries. The first one consisted in treating the fracture and was complicated by another fracture and infection. This was followed by a two-stage treatment of the infection with a cementless revision stem arthroplasty. Arthroplasty procedures should be preceded by appropriate preoperative planning. In the treatment of periprosthetic fractures, it is essential to use appropriate implants and adhere to the AO principles of fracture management.<br/><br/>
