Use of a long distally fixed intramedullary stem to treat a periprosthetic femoral fracture following total hip arthroplasty using a thrust plate hip prosthesis: A case report

Abstract

HighlightsWe report a periprosthetic fracture following the use of a discontinued prosthesis.Marked bone ongrowth on the thrust plate made it difficult to remove.A long distally fixed intramedullary stem was selected for revision.Sufficient implant preparation based on precise preoperative planning is necessary.
