Abstract
We describe a case of a fractured femoral component in a hydroxyapatite-coated cementless total hip arthroplasty that was revised using a prosthesis with circumferential proximal metaphyseal support and a lateral flare, with a short femoral stem. This type of prosthesis allows for revision, thus, avoiding the removal of the distal part of the previous prosthesis well bonded to the bone. This makes the revision arthroplasty easier and the patient's recovery quicker.Entities:
