Abstract
Modular femoral necks in total hip arthroplasty are promoted as giving the surgeon more options during surgery and as being safe. We report a case of fatigue fracture in the modular neck of a femoral implant 3 1/2 years after implantation. The probable design errors leading to product failure are discussed.Entities:
